A Capitalist Christmas
Lupercal:
Theres a pizza joint up Bleecker St (Greenwich Village) that you HAVE to try (apparently simply called "Bleecker Street Pizza"). That area is home to Washington Square Park and Cafe Wha? too. Go to them all!
Christmas plans are never usually that crazy, they're similar most years. I'm going to spend Christmas day with my family, boxing day with extended family, and the 27th will be seeing my girlfriend and her family I suppose, if not on Christmas Eve. (I swear, Sainsburys, I better not be working on Christmas Eve AGAIN this year, grr)
Josefbugman:
Hopefully I'll be working at Tatton Park for much of the Christmas period, then the annual party at my friend Natalies house on the 23rd, then at home for Christmas on the 25th and having the whole family over from the 26th till about the 29th.
Then after that, New Years, which is always a ridiculous evening in my opinion.
The only problem with all of this is the fact that my mum and dad both have their birthdays in November and January. Which means 3 months of gifting.
schimmy:
Holy shit, you'll be working at Tatton Park? What'll you be doing?
My christmas plans are pretty much the same every year. On Christmas day, I'll be at my dad's house, where we eat posh ice cream for breakfast, then I go with my siblings to the pub to get drunk, and then come back in time to eat whatever my step-mum hasn't burnt or dropped on the floor.
On boxing day we have a much more classy christmas dinner at my mum's house, where my step-dad is too obsessive about cooking to allow anything to go wrong.
Oh, and the whole holiday will involve an awful lot of my (fundamentalist christian) sister talking about the True Meaning Of Christmas whilst the rest of my (strongly anti-religious) family try avoid getting into arguments with her.
If it snows whilst I'm at my dad's house, I'll probably walk down to Tatton park with either my family or my friends, and have a walk, because that's always fun.

Okay just to set yo' ass straight, DC and NYC are not part of New England. New England is the six corner states. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
I have zero holiday plans as is. Christmas always ends up bumming the shit out of me because fuck capitalism making me feel like I have to have a significant other to buy jewelry or cars with big red ribbons for.
Actually I do have one plan. Christmas Eve, there's usually a big party down at our local Eagles aerie. The families of a lot of people I grew up with are always down there, everyone makes food, and it's a really good time. So there IS that.
Josefbugman:
Then donate the money to a charity that you would spend on holiday gifts. That'd be a good thing to do.
