A Capitalist Christmas

So pretty excited for the holidays. Plan is to go to NYC with a stop in DC on the way. I am excited because I have not been to the New England area or whatever you guys want to call it since I was like 8 and went to Martha's Vineyard.

Also, with this trip, I will have been in every major US city. And Toronto. So yeah, gonna be a typical American tourist except less fried food and more wandering around beautiful parks. Alas, I do not think I will be able to stay for New Year's Eve.

So this thread has two purpses:
1. Talk about yur plans for the holiday season.
2. You, as a person who probably knows more about these places than I do, give me beautiful parks and stuff to see.

I do hope that Occupy Wall Street is still there when I visit. That seems like a fun crowd..

Thanksgiving will be spent with my family in Chicago, so that means Christmas with my wife's family. My sister is a senior in high school so I'm thinking Thanksgiving weekend will be spent finishing up college applications. And my in-laws have a time share in Hawaii, so wife and I will be joining her sister + sis's husband and the parents for a week long vacation there.

Unfortunately I have never been to NYC so I cannot give you any advice as to what to see there. But I can suggest you come back to Chicago if you want some real pizza.

Based on the thread title along, I was sure it was going to be a Trollstormur thread.

I haven't been to those places yet either, but let me know what they're like because I'm going in the summer!

My Christmas plans are to spend a few days at the Boy's house, then a few days at my dad's house. The week around Christmas day I'll be at my mum's, and then I'm coming home for New Year and the three weeks before term starts again, so that I can get some work done and enjoy all the Christmassy things here. Mostly that will probably consist of going for walks in the evenings to enjoy the winter light. I don't get time to do that during term.

I've already started shopping, because I came across a hilarious band who sing songs about growing vegetables and their album is perfect for my mum. Now I need something for my dad, my stepdad, my dad's partner, my brother and the Boy. Apart from the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes I've done, that's it for presents.

Last night I was wondering if there was anything I want/need this year and there really isn't. The only things I would like to have that I don't have are kitchen items that it's impractical to get now (partly because I've already filled my cupboard in the kitchen and had to spill over into someone else's). In general money is always useful but my family don't like to give me money to just pay for things I'd be getting anyway. Which is stupid because it would reduce the amount of debt I'm in, and they don't like that either, but still.

Sorry this turned into an essay!

I have been to Chicago a couple times. And I have tried deep dish pizza. Now I REALLY want some.

Darn you
