Title: What are you looking forward to this christmas ?
Post by: Mugs on Sat 17/12/2005 05:34:10
I'll just bring a little bit of christmas spirit. What are you looking forward to this christmas ?

Example of things:

-christmas list
-special event
-trip to somewhere
-whatever you are looking forward to

I'm looking forward to spending time with my family *cough*gettingpresents*cough*, yeah, that's right, spending time with my family *cough* *cough*.

Honestly, I'm looking forwards to time: free time, time to write music, time to practice, etc. Been so busy during the semester, it's great to be on vacation!

Umm I think it rounds up to

- Vacation and the ability to wake up late
- Some good speakers to connect my cd-player to so I can enjoy my music without having to use headphones (my pc speakers are an abomination)
- Maybe a tablet
- Maybe more music cds

Working on a movie with Jackie Chan over the Christmas season!  ;D   Yep, it's still on, and they still wanna use me as far as I know.

Well, other than that, ummm, just relaxing a bit, maybe work a bit more on my currently-in-production adventure game too.
   I might take a bit of time to try and contact some family and friends back home as well.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm looking foward to it finishing!

I DO work in retail in my defence. (Constant music songs being played, a christmas tree with scart leads and product support leaflets in it, and of course the store being incredibly busy)

The same as Geoffkhan... time. Time to work on my game mostly. And I hope christmas will bring a load of inspiration with it. Also I'm looking forward on getting me a scanner as a christmas present. My background art is so gonna improve when I get to fully draw them by hand... I hope :P But yeah, mostly time for AGS and for some relaxing.

And all this will begin next tuesday when my holiday starts!

Well...

I'm looking forward to seeing my family (haven't seen them for one month)!
Time.
Walks in the center of Athens.
Coming back in London with all the family together.

I stayed in bed all day today. All - freaking - day. I played Harvest Moon DS for the first half, and watched South Park for the second half. I'm now gonna play some more Harvest Moon, and I'm still in bed.

I'm not looking forward to christmas. This is as good as it gets.

Dear Santa,

I hope that my brother gets to come home for Christmas. That's all I really hope this year.

I live in the US so I cannot look forward to Christmas. I must look forward to some "Happy Hollidays".  :P

No but seriously Christmas is overrated. New Years is where the party's at.

I also need a new graphics card, something was wrong with our GeForce2 GTS so we replaced it by a temporary 10 year old card.Ã,  Ã, 

You don't know how special a good-enough card is,Ã,  until you lose itÃ,  :'(.

DAMN YOU FOR LIVING IN A DOCTOR WHO RICH AREA!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm also looking forward for Christmas to be over. I wrote and have been directing a Christmas play, and somewhere in my contract it apparently says that I have to do everything, including buying and building props, working lights and sound, and having fifteen year old girls flirt with me (that sounds like a good thing, but not for a 25 year old guy)... I wanna be done with it.... Luckily, today is the big day.

Thank you Nikolas for writing the music and thus lightening my load. Merry Christmas to you, pal.

As for Who... there's always ways and means of acquiring the episode...

Hmmm... Can't say I've got a terrible lot to look forward to this Christmas. I was looking forward to getting time off, but seeing as I have a massive assignment due in January, and exams to revise for, not to mention a dissertation I'm rather behind on, I won't get much of a chance to enjoy it.

Plus, this'll be the first Christmas since my big bro moved out, and I'll miss the smeghead on Christmas morning. Sure, he'll be visiting for dinner with his fiancee and sprog, but its just not the same.

Looking forward to New Years though, my mate's are having a party, wooooo!!!!

I'm looking forward to going back to the US for the two weeks I have off between school, seeing my family and my cats, and sleeping on my own soft bed. Looking forward to spending my free time teaching myself to cook Indian food and seeing old friends.

I'm not, however, looking forward to the time I'm going to have to spend writing my senior thesis and two other reports, doing research and so on when I should be relaxing.

Oh, and then we have this "class wedding" coming up soon and the bachellor party too, that we organize with our class boys. I hear a "stipper" lady coming too := Best Christmas evar!!11

I'm looking forward to Channukah, which begins on christmas night!

I got a few books out of my parents already, so I'm not really concerned with presents. It's just good to be home and have some free time before I begin to get overwhelmed with work and college.

No tree, but my parents do give me presents. Not for very much longer, though.

QuoteI didn't know it was possible to not know that...

Actually, it's a U.S. thing. Presents aren't really associated with the holiday or it's meaning. It was more of an effort to make sure Jewish kids didn't feel left out when all their other friends got presents and they were just stuck with aftertaste of latka's. So it's quite possible not to know that.

Finaly, i'm free from school for about 17 days.Ã,  Also, there's only 2 chocolatesÃ,  leftÃ,  in my chocolate calendar, andÃ, I made my Chrismas list:

-An amplifier for my bass (which I don't have, wet.)
-Books
-Games
-etc.

Hopefuly I'll get at least one of those things (I'm pretty sure I will, but just in case anything happens, I'll stay low on what I'm hoping for.)

Only 1 day till the 24th!Ã,  Merry Christmas everyone!Ã,  Ohhh... and why not, Happy Chanukah tooÃ,  :) !

It's not a US thing, actually, "dmei Chanukah" are traditional here aswell. It's usually money though, not presents. And it doesn't neccesarilly have anything to do with the holiday's religious traditions.
But anyway, jelly doughnuts! Yay! :D

My christmas results:

It was a quiet Christmas, most of my family was spending time somewhere else. As for gifts, I got the book I wanted, the games I wanted, but I didn't get the amplifier I wanted. I got an acoustic Bass(with pickup) insteadÃ,  ;D. So overall, this has been a great christmas, right now in my time zone it's 1:52 PM so I'm still looking foward to have a hell of party tonight.
