First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone!

You guys in Canadalanda may have enough snow, but I've been hoping for a strong storm to come by again because ours is melting. I have a brand new snowboard and have only taken it up to our local mountains once in unfavorable conditions.

I'll be hanging out with my family as well. I just came back from Mexico and visited my grandpa. Christmas should be fun because we'll all be at home and I'll have to share the cooking duties alongside my mom. Christmas tamales! Nothing better than coming home to that and a loving family.

Selling Turkeys :(

Apart from that I will be reading Nineteen Eighty-four after I got it from the university library because Rollo kept going on about it.

First of all Very Very Merry Christmas to everyone in Motorsport forums - and especally those who are not well or have to work during the holidays :(

Christmas eve is always at my Nonna's house - dont know the tradition behind it but we dont eat meat on Xmas eve so its lobster and Spagetti Marinara this year! As usual I have dessert making duties with a lemon cheesecake and cream puffs on the menu!

Christmas Day is over my Aunty's house with turkey and all the trimmings!

Boxing day is spending the day with my best mate (know each other since primary school) - who is back from interstate for a short while

Well, on the 25th it is off to my wife's cousin's for a traditional Christmas dinner. No drinking for me that day really...will behave. Then on Boxing Day ( the day after Christmas for all you non-Commonwealth nation folk) I will be hosting dinner for my folks and two of my wife's nieces, not to mention my mother-in-law. Again, turkey with all the trimmings, except I will be happy to drink lots of Guinness or other beer (may get something more appealing to my dad who doesn't like the Guinness), watch the Canadian National Jr. Team open their first game of the World Junior hockey tournement ( A Canadian staple over the holidays). That..and probably have the nieces playing on the Wii. I bought Dance Dance Revolution for the wife, who loves the game....

Seems I'll spend holiday this weekend for another closing party rehearsal and any related preparation for our next year program and my own new year resolution...
Hoping this one will be successful as my previous big dinner... :)

Well Merry Xmas to those who celebrate... and Happy new year, Wishing you the best of everything, a very happy and prosperous New Year...
