Well, the clock states 12:16am so it's Christmas day here in New Zealand, so Merry Christmas to you all.

However, I'm not really at all that excited. It's me and my girlfriends '8 months' today, and shes away with her family so that sucks. I've also had most of my presents already, so not much to look forward to there either.

What about you? How "exciting" will Christmas be for you?

Muh well it's two hours away and i'm drunk already...

I'll probably be hungover and crawl out of bed to eat stuff at 4pm.

Usual weekend.

I went with To Whatever to get into it. I'm stationed on Hawaii, doesn't even FEEL like Christmas. Besides, the only reason Christmas really ever meant anything to me was because it was a time to be with all my family.

Isn't Jesus' birthday anyways.

Muh well it's two hours away and i'm drunk already...
I'm leaving my drinking for tomorrow. Mum got me alcohol for the first time too, 15 beers. Should be okay.

Christmas eve (Julafton) is bigger here than Christmas day (Juldagen).

I already have my presents, that is. :)

Lol. 15 for a first time? You're set, man! :D

I'm drinking some odd German brew I picked up on a whim. "Schwelmer" or something. It's actually pretty decent. And then I have the better part of a bottle of Jack Daniels for tomorrow.

First time for my mum buying me alcohol, incase you're thinking it's my first time drinking lol.

I didn't know Jack Daniels made it out to Australia.. I suppose if they have Popeye's Cajun Chicken in Korea they'll have Jack Daniels in Australia.

Jack Daniels has been global for decades.

Sorry about your g/f being away. That sucks.

Old dudes like me get most of our jollies at Christmas by watching how excited the little people get. My grandchildren opened their gifts from the extended family last night, so I suppose I shall be alone Christmas Day, but meh.

Great. In another two hours the entire country is going to be celebrating some two thousand year old wank's birthday. It's the type of thing that just make's me want to drink until I puke. Or die of dehydration. Either one's good for me. In fact, I think I'll do both.

lol. As Fass said, it's global. You can get JD almost anywhere. We can get almost any American brew here (not including microbreweries). If it's not on the shelf, they'll order it.

Yay! Care to join me?

:( not even Christmas in England and I can't even open my presents yet....you win this time St Nick!

guess I had better hide the missle...toe ;)

One hour and 53 minutes to go.

I have a bunch of crap waiting for me under the tree, so I'm all looking forward to it :d. All those coronas I had at work have made me sleepy..

First time for my mum buying me alcohol, incase you're thinking it's my first time drinking lol.

Haha, sorry...as I said...tipsy...lol...

Either way, you're set. 15 free beers? Can't complain :D

I know. We went to supermarket intending to get just a half doz and I was like, "Mum. I can't get half a doz, I'll look like a pussy"
"Oh.. Better get 15 then."

It was cool lol.

I don't think I could make it to Melbourne at this hour. Perhaps if you send a packet of peanuts via airmail, we could get drunk over the internet.

You can have a few for me too, and I'll have a few for you tomorrow whilst you're passed out.

Me too. We can take it in shifts.

Cooooool. So it's settled. :D

Me too. We can take it in shifts.
Sounds good to me.. I'll start around 11am tomorrow I guess.

I'll be passed out before then. You better start at about 2 or 3am.

I'll take over at 4:00pm

I'll be passed out before then. You better start at about 2 or 3am.
Lol. I'll be asleep before then. 11am-4pm. Good shift.

Kanabia, you want to take over again at 9:00pm?

And by all means, anyone else feel free to have a drink on Christmas day for your fellow NS'ers.

Merry Christmas to you...still wrapping presents here. 11 1/2 hours. Wow, how exciting.
Not that excited either, my girl's over 100 miles away, no one who gives me presents (except my girlfriend, but I've already had presents from her) shows any imagination, so I can guess what I'm getting. Oh, and as a vegetarian, I'm being made fun of by my family. I just love spending the holidays with them.

Congratulations Chief i was going to do this but some of us Catholics actually go to Mass.:p

i'm looking forward to spending some 'quality' time (and time off, no work involved!) with my family. relaxing. thats exciting for me :)
god i probably sound so boring :p

i wish i could be with my gf tomorrow but i have a delicious and much anticipated special xmas letter from her to read instead woot! :D

Christmas day? Not interesting. It's Christmas eve here, and I've recieved half of my presents so far. More after dinner :D

Kanabia, you want to take over again at 9:00pm?

Uh, yeah, sure. I'm going to bed now. Feel free to cover for me whenever it suits you.

I'm too old/young/whatever to get into christmas anymore.:sniper:

i wish i could be with my gf tomorrow but i have a delicious and much anticipated special xmas letter from her to read instead woot! :D
And I was supposed to have a special email this morning... hmmm
:fluffle: I wish I could be with you too. I want to open my present as well!


At the moment I'm in the process of cleaning the house (again!) for my Granny and Grandad arriving this evening to spend Christmas with us tomorrow.

I do not celebrate Christmas, I am an atheist.

Congratulations Chief i was going to do this but some of us Catholics actually go to Mass.:p
Pffft. 9:30 mass will do me just fine, thank you very much.

This is the only holiday which gratifies both the generous me and the greedy me. I am ecstatic. Also, it begins the long week of "watch every single film your family got for Christmas".

Pffft. 9:30 mass will do me just fine, thank you very much.
Yeah i forgot about that.:p
I am so tired so very very tired.

Lol, I just got home from mass. Was the funniest I've been to for a number of reasons.. Is it Christmas day in America now?

What about you? How "exciting" will Christmas be for you?

Well, on Dec. 22nd my wife flew to Birmingham, AL as her father who is 88 was in the hospital. I called the guests we had invited for Christmas dinner and canceled that. One of them called me back and suggested we go to a buffet for Christmas, so we are going to the buffet at the casino. They have a great buffet so I'm looking forward to that. My father-in-law is doing much better and was released from the hospital on Friday, but they still have to keep a close eye on him.

All in all, it will be a good but not GREAT Christmas.

Not yet. It is 5 pm on east coast. Merry Christmas to you and all of your family.

Lol. 15 for a first time? You're set, man! :D

I'm sitting here sipping on some Tillymore Dew and hoping I'll have enough left for tomorrow afternoon. :D Oh well, if I don't I have plenty of Canadian whiskey, not as good as the Irish though but a lot less expensive. :D

I'm sorry to hear he's not well. Quite like my Grandma. I think this is the first year in 16 years I will not be receiving a present from her. Feels strange. She's just been let out of hospital.

Merry Christmas to you and all of your family.
Thank you, and the same to you.

Sorry about your g/f being away. That sucks.

My wife is away so I'll be alone tomorrow as well. Going to dinner with a friend. Tell you what Eut, I'll have a nip at 4 PM Central time and you do the same. Merry Christmas.

Lol, I just got home from mass. Was the funniest I've been to for a number of reasons.. Is it Christmas day in America now?

No. It is 4:15 PM Central time and 5:15 Eastern time. Still a long way to go. :(

well i don't know about you all, but i am getting completely piss drunk tonight. I'll start with magaritas, and end it all with some Gray Goose.

I'm generally looking forward to tomorrow...:p

Isn't Jesus' birthday anyways.

No, but it's like having a birthday party a week before/after your birthday. It's not on your birthday due to scheduling concerns. :)

I went to that last year. We nearly went again this year.. But no.

9:30 mass was great. They let loose a whole lot of balloons.
But anyway, Christmas day is over here. Now it's Boxing Day so I'm waiting for the cricket to start.
