What are you looking forward to most this Christmas?

Sehnsucht · 25-11-2009 05:56PM #1

For me it's putting up my mam's two Christmas trees, the tree in the office and then my own of course!

It's making a barrel load of sausage stuffing and eating most of it, opening the pressies with the family on Christmas morning, listening to Christmas songs in the car on the way to and from work and watching waaay too many movies.

And there's also the traditional drinking 5 gallons of Cidona and eating my weight in chocolate coins!

all the wonderful food and pressies

:D:D:D:D:D

Going out, getting drunk and dancing like a fool to Christmas songs!

Spending time with my loved ones, like every year.

Being free from stress and exams and studying for a few weeks... and chocolate

XxXciaraxXx · 25-11-2009 09:50PM

The excited/nervous feeling I still get going to bed on xmas eve!:D

And family, food, surprises and drinks!

Saibh · 25-11-2009 10:02PM

Few days off work, just lazing around.

Looking forward to the stuffing on Christmas day - best part of the meal in my opinion.

Having a break from college. it's definitely needed.

Also, putting up the tree, going Christmas shopping in Cork the weekend after next (squeee!), and the general feeling of cheer that seems to descend upon people at Christmas.

Queen-Mise · 25-11-2009 11:32PM

The music and food. And the absolute joy of my kids through the whole period

wudangclan · 26-11-2009 12:21AM

Getting away to the sun for a few weeks.:)

CamillaRhodes · 26-11-2009 12:24AM

Christmas dinner - yummy :-D

And hopefully, HOPEFULLY getting to see my lovely boyfriend, if the Irish embassy will give him a visa. Hoping to send some sunshine, lollipops and rainbows their way...

Cupcake_Crisis · 26-11-2009 12:30AM

SM01 · 26-11-2009 12:32AM

My annual glass of Midleton Very Rare Whiskey!

For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to having Christmas behind me. I can't wait for it to be over.

I didn't realise how true this was until I read this thread.

Hopefully your Christmas won't be too bad.

Time off, the festive mood, presents

26-11-2009 01:27AM

For me it is the sparkly, shiney, happy decorations, different ones remind me of different christmasses and of being really little.
My gorgeous christmass scented Yankee candles. Musical Snowglobes.
People being happy out, and having the opportunity to get something nice to treat my loved ones.
Christmas songs, and the variety acts. Selection boxes.
Dancing with friends I havent seen since forever. Mulled wine and christmas pudding.
Visiting santie with my friend.
Watching kids films with my family. Pulling off savage family dinners.
Chocolate. Callers. Damien Dempsey in Whelans.
Frosty Christmas morning walks when the rest of the world is asleep.
The opportunity to write off another year and start again with a fresh outlook.

Not having college.

I know this sounds absurd but I'm looking forward to going back to my other job. The hotel I work in closes for the winter so I'll be going back to the bar/restaurant I go back to when there is work nowhere else. Granted I'll be sick of it after 2 days.

That sums it up pretty well!!

aoife2k · 26-11-2009 11:19AM

I'm looking forward to gettin the choir ready for Christmas Mass... the traditional (since we were babies) gathering in my neighbours house for drinks, finger food and poker (used to be board games when we were small.

I'm also looking forward to the post-Christmas Day Mass 'party' (before the dinner) in my friends house, it's ALWAYS great... and funny when the drunk husbands are gettin phonecalls at 3pm to say the dinner is ready!!!

Oh oh, and i'm looking forward to eating my weight in Ferrero Rocher... my one and only downfall when it comes to chocolate, i can't say no!

Hrududu · 26-11-2009 11:22AM

Having the lights up cheers me to no end. Also the tins of roses I go through. But I'm looking forward to the poker the most. The whole family plays and it always ends up in bickering. But its such fun.

jenny2hat · 26-11-2009 12:40PM

Notice nobody said remembering the birth of whatsisname...:pac:

mental07 · 26-11-2009 01:26PM

Forgetting about my job for a good week and a half
Catching up with friends and family
Being lazy
The open fire
Turkey sandwiches
Sleeping loads

all the stars · 26-11-2009 01:53PM

Having my family all together... its been years.

I really cant wait

Pigwidgeon · 26-11-2009 03:22PM

I really just love the whole build up to Christmas, most people are in better form and there's a great atmosphere when all the decorations are up in town.
I can't wait to have time off college, to catch up with friends I haven't seen much in the last while.

sillyputty · 26-11-2009 08:49PM
