It's Christmas!

[Murcie_LP640]

Present opening, lunch at dad's, dinner at mum's. Supposedly some Halo 4 with my sister online in the afternoon.

 

[Ross]

Ah! That's good to hear - my regards to your grandparents and all compliments of the season. I'm sure you will have a blast. I mean . . . having a blast. Had a blast? Where are we now? Rome?

Calling NORAD was no use. The guy who answered said that Santa would be in our area between 9.00 PM (today, today being Sunday the 24th) (I mean right now) and 12.00 AM tomorrow morning. Or midnight tonight.

Tomorrow, tonite . . . the whole thing is confusing. This is how Santa tricks us. In any case had a closer look at your Grandpa. You never know.
Has he got any kind of white stuff on his face?

As for me - it's 2.30 right now. Yeah, my tooth hurty, too from waiting.
Well . . . less than six hours to go till 9.00 PM. I'll be hiding behind a chimney.



Well, that's fine with me - it's in good hands; you usually make the perfect host for such shindigs.

I can't believe that some people may have already gone through half of Christmas day. And elsewhere someone may be running to get that last minute Engagement Ring . . .

Christmas. It's Magic.

That whole post is full of win Drunk already I see.

That whole post is full of win Drunk already I see.

Haha . . no, actually not. I'm just high on Life. You know . . . I'm actually not much of a drinker - one drink - and I'll be holding it all evening. Since I'm already high, one drink is enough to get me smashed.

Plus I always end up as the designated driver.

Hmmmmm. Makes me think - maybe I like driving better than drinking
Hand over the keys, you lush!

Yes - I'll have a drink later - a moment to be savored.

Is it all over for the Aussies, yet? What time is it there? Probably Santa come and gone and everybody sprawled on the floor snoring and drunk.

???

Yes. Good work ibo! This is one of the known shapes he takes. In fact he gets real people to dress like this, and meantime while everybody is thinking that nobody there, who looks like him, is him, he is already somebody there among everybody who is there who isn't him, and is actually him.

Self, I mean.


Edit: shoot - client visits with gift. Gotta go. BBS.

This is why I read your posts. And @ the bolded bit, isn't Fryz like that all the time?

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Most Aussies are. It's in our nature

Photonrider's posts are always a good laugh . GTP wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[photonrider]

Strange . . hm . . there must be a trick to this, guys - remember I was asking about the Aussies and how they were doing? Well doorbell goes off - it's one of my best clients, apparently (haha, right) passing by - and he says he's got something for me - and of course it's a gift - and including a bottle of Lindeman's Bin 50 Shiraz. Yup. From South Western Australia.

Yum. Maybe I'll sneak off with this to my mancave later and have more than one.

So who's at 12.00 AM right now? Anyone shot that phat man yet? Not with a gun of course, okay? Just use a point and shoot photon-catcher.

Now - further clues - from what I heard - he can make himself so small that a thousand of him would fit on the head of a pin. This is how he gets down chimneys, and into people's hearts and so on. Better watch out.

 

[cgr-10]

I'm watching Die Hard to get me into the Christmas spirit; the best Christmas film of all time without a shadow of a doubt!

Merry Christmas everyone, have a good one!

 

[PeterJB]

Open stockings with my Sisters in the morning whilst watching some kind of Disney film, let them prepare lunch with Mum, eat, watch the Queen's speech, open presents, watch a film, play some board games, watch Downton Abbey.

Then do it all over again at Dad's house on Boxing Day!

 

[Patrick]

Wake up, open presents, eat breakfast, and go to my uncle's house for a family dinner. Which is so much fun by the way.

Captain's Log.
Stardate: Sometime before the morning of Christmas day.
Location: Somewhere in the Universe that it is sometime before the morning of Christmas day.

Was talking to some aliens by the name of Aussies, in the company of many mad dogs and other Englishman, when there was a sudden landing of spacepod, and from the wine-dark depths of the Universe was extracted into our airlock, a being bearing a bottle of what suspiciously looked like a decanter of spirits from this 'Aussie' place.

Thereupon having quickly retiring to my cabin, I proceeded to open said bottle and investigate what these Aussies were talking about.

*tasting distilled spirit of Australia.


PREPARE FOR WARP SPEED!!

We're the hosts this year, again. We've hosted for the past 6 or 7 years after my gran got her mad Dalmation. However, it's going to be a little strange this year. No grandparents, no aunt or uncle, just me, my parents, my sister and her two kids. My sister's boyfriend is spending Christmas with his mum as he's such a mummy's boy. The grandparents don't want to come round as my dad's step-grandma died earlier this month, and my aunt and uncle are spending Christmas with my uncle's family.

No doubt I'll be woken up at a stupid time by my 2 year old niece jumping on me like last year. We'll go downstairs, open presents, my niece will either be pleased or start crying that Santa has eaten her cookies and drunk her milk. We put them out before she went to bed, then she realised she wanted some, and started crying when we told her she couldn't eat the cookies she'd left out for the jolly man. My other niece is still a bit too young to understand Christmas at 10 months old. My dad will open his Jack Daniels, my mum will open her Baileys, the kids will play with their irritating toys, if I have any PS3 games I'll try them out before the dinner is ready. Then we'll sit at the table, stuff our faces with a crown turkey made for 8-10 people which we are sharing between 4 of us plus the kids. Then we'll carry on drinking, get merry, watch TV up until whatever time and collapse in bed.

Boxing Day will consist of a strict diet of turkey, stuffing and mayonnaise (I prefer cranberry sauce, I'm the only person in the house who likes it!) sandwiches and chocolates.

 

[bluemoon_19]

Oh man already had too much alcohol I suppose it didn't help when I opened a 6 month old bottle of home brew wine. Just finished making the stuffing balls and pigs in blankets. Its a long tradition in our house of making them on Christmas eve instead of buying them pre made.

 

[Tom]

Get up around 12 think CBA and get a kfc and then play BF3.

Seriously though.

Get up at 9. Open presents then go use the new pc I am getting (I found the receipt ) have dinner at 2 then probably go back to the pc.

All the while noting some of the family come on the 29th who I will see on the 31st as I am away on the 29th and everyone else is doing other things for christmas. I have my parents but really christmas for me is.

New PC, which one?

---

I'll probably get up around 7 and get out of bed around 9 (anyone who knows Guns N' Roses will get that). But seriously I will probably get up and head downstairs and open the presents and thank my family for them. Wait for the rest of my family to arrive, sit down for dinner at about 1pm and then just watch films or play with what I've got.

 

[Ross]

Well, I've just charged up the batteries in the cameras.

Lindeman's? Seriously? One of their main vine deposits is literally 200m away from me right now! If I had the inkling there would be nothing stopping me from walking down my driveway, across a road and adding a little extra flavour to next years Shiraz

It truly is amazing that coincidences line up like this. The only thing my town of less than 300 residents is famous for is wine, and to think there is a guy, thousands of miles away that's gonna have a bloody fantastic christmas day thanks to grapes grown here... Well it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy with christmas cheer 👍

That makes my day

 

[Schwartz]

I'm Jewish. :/

 

[Slash]

I'm Jewish. :/

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that 👍

 

[Cano]

So people of GTPlanet, tell us how you will be spending your Christmas day.

Freaking sick, my throath is killing me, and I'm on medicine, posting from bed right now. Oooh joy.

 

[Slash]

That's terrible, I hope you feel better for tomorrow bud. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

 

[photonrider]

.

No problem, brother. Welcome.

*hugs Scwartz.


You get right in here and join the fun, the rabbi won't pay no mind; I think Christ was somewhat Jewish, too.

Now . . about that Shiraz. Wow. You bloody Aussies . . .so tempting to have another half ounce.

Lovely medium to heavy body, fruits and berries( Plum? Rasberry?) from the left nostril, spice and wood(cedar) from the right.
Nice bouquet.

Now the whole world is bokeh. Good bokeh, too 👍

As for the coincidences, Mr Dino - wow . . thanks for posting that. Don't know what made me immediately open the bottle and sample the wine - but wow - now I feel that much closer. Small world, man, small world. I had that drink then, for you. 👍

It is a 🤬 good wine. Want to have more, but no. Later.


Have to keep all sensors alert; need to get ahold of this man in red. With the beard. Evidence. You know me. The factual type. Must record it.
Where is he now? NORAD? Location please.

Can't find my razor. Who stole it?!

 

[Ken]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow GTP'ers and your families. May this Christmas fill your hearts with warmth, peace and joy!

 

[porthillking]

Where is he now? NORAD? Location please.

He was last spotted in Cape Town, and now he's heading for the Democratic Republic of Congo. 👍

He moving like a damn comet. It's probably Rudolf; they're somewhere over ANGOLA right now.

Yikes . . hope those reindeer cross the Atlantic safely.

Guess this is the moment he grabs a big mug of hot choclate and gets on the cellphone to his favourite elf. That's Mrs Claus, of course; she was promoted from regular elf.

 

[Nessy]

I'll probably be spending most of Christmas day in bed, because i'm suffering from a major bout of ManFlu... I was mean't to go out for my works xmas do yesterday (meal and some indoor karting), and as much as i wanted to go, i just couldn't.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all here on GTP 👍, and despite the ManFlu i'm sure i'll have an enjoyable day regardless.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Merry Christmas guys and gals!! 👍

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

 

[Antonisbob]

It's only 2:15 PM here, lol. But for those elsewhere in the world have a good day. 👍

 

[Guardian]

Who here wants to play "Pin the Christ on the Cross"?

(I'll get my coat.)

🤬

Way to go too far.

I'll just spend the whole day 'playing' with everything I got. We don't go out anywhere normally anyway.
That, and I'll be looking forward to my birthday 9 days layer

New DLC?!

 

[photonrider]

Merry Christmas guys and gals!! 👍

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

Merry Christmas, Fryz ol' man, hope you had a geat Christmas so far and you found the rum! Thanks for all the kind words - and hope you have a whacking good New Year, too. 👍

It's only 2:15 PM here, lol. But for those elsewhere in the world have a good day. 👍
