I visited my family in my hometown for Christmas and basically just slept and ate all day. I had some 25 year old single malt scotch with my dad and we all played cards against humanity and telestrations. My mum had a couple of west coast coolers and was drunk, couldn't even remember her own name. Was hilarious.

For NY I went down the south coast with 2 of my girlfriends. We beached every day and on NYE we went to the pub where everyone got kicked out at 11.53pm because some woman kept fighting everyone. We didn't even make it til midnight. Was very funny though.

For Xmas I got a wifi extender for my bedroom (I live in a double storey apartment where the wifi doesn't quite reach my bedroom), a dress, thongs (flip flops), some vouchers for sports gear, towels, and chocolates.

casinorep - why are you returning your gifts?

[sweetbet]

Woke up at 2.30am to drink Santa's milk and eat his cookies, and put Santa's presents under the Christmas tree.
Slept in and didn't make it to Sunday Mass. Ate Christmas lunch, and had a few drinks. Saw the fireworks on NYE.

casinorep - why are you returning your gifts?

Because I am an ungrateful bastard j/k. I am particular about my clothes and they weren't in style..

[Casinorep]

I should add that by returning I don't mean returning them to the givers (I'm not that cold), but to the stores they were bought from in exchange for store credits. Some retailers in the US let you do that for Christmas gifts because there is a high demand for returns & exchanges after the holidays.

Here, in Russia, we have big holidays. 31 Dec-08 January this year.
During 9 days people celebrate New Year.

p.s. But because i am full time webmaster for me nothing changed.
Last 7 years i work from my home. So i may get day-off when i want.

[BBCasinos]

Crazy amounts of food.
2 days in a row of "gourmetten". For people who don't know.
Gourmetten is an electric machine with around 6 smalls pans in which you can cook on the table.
Loads of meet and Bread and sauce
got 2 sweaters from the girl and a Nice bag for travelling.
No further holiday because we moved in to a New office this week.
NYE we spent at friends with food, drink, music and games.

[agsgroup]

The usual, food, drink and obligatory games! This year was all about pub quizzes, lots of fun when everyone gets competitive and louder as the night goes on. New Year we set off some fireworks but we were at home with friends, much more chilled than going out...

Pressies were clothes, nice toiletries that kind of thing, but I did buy myself () a new snowboard kit so chuffed with that

[eenzoo]

Was the first xmas with two kids.
Visit parents-in-law (20km) and parents (600km)
Stress!

Next yr they are old enough to flight to Thailand
No parents, no (tons of toys) gifts, just relax!

[ElaineGardiner]

I went back to Scotland for 2 weeks, and it was a stressful 2 weeks trying to fit in as many visits as possible with friends and family. I even cooked Christmas dinner for the family so I didn't get much time to relax but it was worth it.

I got lots of shoes and chocolate - they know me so well

[Mattbar]

Nice relaxing Christmas at the outlaws, sorry I mean in laws, followed by the NY from hell as a pipe burst in my attic flooding my sons room, while he lay in his cot!

Hugely stressful start to 2017, not helped by balls revenue from December, but hey the year can only get better from here

[IGT Partners]

went back in my hometown in Italy:
- visiting the big family
- eating a lot
- drinks with friends
- sleeping 10 hours in a row per night

...multiply this for 8 days! Yes, hard to manage but done! :P

[Aeternus]

Celebrated christmas with the family, ate a lot of food and then spent the rest of christmas on the sofa with a cold.

[AndyBonus]

I spent the holidays (Christmas and new year) rebuilding my old free slot site. It took 3 weeks longer than expected, but it had to be done!

Anyway, at least I had fun watching the US election antics over YouTube

[MJM]

We took the kids skiing in Colorado for their first trip to the big mountains, all had a blast.

[dfiocch]

As usual:

1) Did skydiving
2) Did a lot wingsuit flights
3) Did some Snowboarding
4) ... I broke my wrist. As usual, every year, I got something broken

[aliceblack]

We have five kids so the holidays are basically centered around hiding presents and keeping babies from ripping open the presents (and when they do, we re-wrap them, multiple times usually)

Other than that, traveled to see family in California and did some traveling up north in the Coeur D' Alene area.

I received a fitness bracelet for Christmas, I really like charts and tracking things so it was a great choice.
