I would say ******* off and doing nothing, but I do that all year already, so nothing is really different. I guess maybe free food and gifts and a little bit of the family.

OMG! that avatar is the best!

The joy and wonder in the little children's eyes right before I cut their throats and feed them to my dogs. Muhahahaha!

Wow someone has daddy issues. It was either be gay or a psychopath; pretty obvious which one you are. Enjoy your trench coat on warm sunny days.

Drinking yourself into oblivion, hourly.

edit: Drinking yourself into oblivion with all the spicey single-vineyard Old-Vine Zin from Heldsburg, CA that you can't drink any other time of year because you need an excuse to open those special bottles. I also enjoy rolling in the floor and cooking a huge, single serving meal for myself because my family is crazy and I can't stomach dealing with 3-factions who don't talk to each other and trap me in the middle of their horse-**** games and 2-factions ask me for money because they think that I'm rich because they're lazy, and all my friends get to show everyone how much they love their spouses and girlfriends because they have low standards and put up with horse-**** so their girlfriends can withhold sex and then they can call me up once every 3-weeks to pretend they're not dead and want me to get them drunk up in tha club and holler at bitches so they can cheat on their girlfriends and I can then watch their relationships unravel...which I know a lot about considering my mother and father are married a total of 13-times when you combine the two-idiiots.

So yes, holing-up in an apartment with Tivo'd endurance races from the summer with a 98-point old-vine zin and a badass holiday meal for myself is the reason I love the holidays.

lol

It's the one time of the year I can get a Miata part in the mail and not have to beat my wife home to check it, unbox it, shred shipping info, break down the box, and hide the new shiny part amongst a pile of crap in the garage until I can install it.

That and eggnog.

That's why I live in Houston. I can deal with 100* days and 80% humidity to not have to deal with the cold. The first time I saw snow that actually stuck to the ground was when I was 21. Friday we were able to make life size snowmen in my front yard............not happy.

I am constantly available to customers, since my work phone is forwarded to my cell when I leave, so that will be nice for that to tone down. This christmas I will be painting the floors in my garage addition and installing a natural gas heater, so I am looking forward to that as well.
