I' m thinking of killing myself...

Are you gonna YouTube it???

Ah, well...
I can' t do it LIVE, but after I' m done I' ll make sure to put it up.

I' ll be at home with the family just hangin out. For me that' s the best way to spend the holidays.

I' m going to be spending both at Lake Louise in Alberta Canada...

You snowboard? Awesome.

.Are there and Canadian specific traditions i need to know in advance???

Oh, and what the hell is eggnog???

You don' t have Nog in the UK??? Huh, go figure. Before you go on a total binge on the stuff, see if there' s non-alcoholic nog there, because unless you really really like the flavor, getting hammered on nog is like smoking 10pounds of copier paper and a pinchfull of Marijuana. You' ll get full before you get toasted.

Seriously, it' s got more calories than a deep-fried chicken milkshake. Don' t let that put you off the stuff though, it' s actually quite good as a treat.

What am I doing for Christmas Eve? A pleasant gathering with my Dad' s Welsh side of the family over my house. I might even try to explain Videogames to my grandfather. He' s an amazing man, and he says he' s too old to learn this stuff, but I bet if I put him in front of a Wii...

What am I doing for Christmas Day? Spending time at the " Annual Midwest Polish Dysfunctionality Contest" ... AKA... The other side of the family. Alone, we' re all nice people, but throw us in a brightly-lit, festive-looking, great-smelling cozy kitchen with family and friends, and it can get pretty ugly. I think there' s a reason my relatives houses are always extra cheery-looking this time of the year.

Have a great Christmas & New Year guys! I' ll catch up with you in January!

Several years ago a friend of mine and I started a tradition of hanging out in New Orleans, his hometown, for New Year' s. It' s great because we can briefly check out the tourist madness that occurs there in the French Quarter, but then retreat to some very cool areas that only the locals know about.

Ever since Katrina it' s more important than ever for me to continue visiting there... not only to really understand the scope of the devastation that' s occurred, but also to make some contribution to the local economy as they struggle to recover.

me and my girlfriend are having a christmas party for her parents and younger brother, after that we are going to my grandmas, and then my parents. so its family family family!

Have a great Christmas & New Year guys! I' ll catch up with you in January!

Thanks Majik. Have a great Christmas and New Years as well!

Vx, I have money and am bored.... Can I fly over for Christmas?

I' ll bring a rum cake.

Ok, so for some of you it' s Christmas tomorrow so i wanted to just hop on and wish everybody a Merry Christmas again! Enjoy yourselves guys

As for me, i' m way above sea level playing in the snow...

The level looks great, but the character model needs work.

Plus it' s only running at 30 frames per second and I think I saw jaggies!!!

Speaking of snow.... The weather is doing some pretty fucked up shit this winter. I live in Quebec/Canada one of the places in the world in which it snows the most. Usually it starts to snow in November and by this time we sometimes have it up to out knees and by January/Feburary we can have blizzards that bury cars.
At this time of year this is a typical sight in the morning:

By January there is 4 to 8 times more snow than what you see in the picture.

This year I see no snow where I live. It looks like this will be my first Christmas without snow. I mean wtf?! Vancouver gets snow but not Quebec, shit it even snowed in Texas, TEXAS! Not that I' m complaining because this makes traveling easier. The reason I bring this up is to share an amusing anecdote.

Which is this: The other day as I' m walking along one of our main streets as I was waking to the store I see a place that had snow for sale. It was a pile of snow outside with a sign on it saying " for sale" LOL

It' s somewhat of an inside joke but anyone who gets as much snow as i do during winter might find this pretty funny.

Yeah, I know, we' re pretty much in the same bucket of crap, being (in the worldly sake) pretty darn close. Only a couple hundred miles or so I think. It' s insane not having snow on the ground now, I miss my snowboard, & I' m seriously envious of Majik right now.
