We will, the same way we have for years:  A nice turkey and fixings, baking a ton of cookies and fudge (that we will eat all of them ourselves), and our traditional $1,000 gift exchange.  I reach into the casino cash drawer, take out a $500 bundle and hand it to Mrs. Liberty with a "Merry Christmas, baby!"  Then she hands it back with another "Merry Christmas Baby!"  Then we take the bundle to blow at a Casino across the river. 

Since I think of it as a gift to the Casino, I guess that's actually a $1,500 gift exchange!

Oh, then we feed the cats so much food they all puke.


Sounds nice, with the cats.    :silly:

@Gefn

You know we are older and not able to drag big Christmas trees around the house.
And...thousands of people have died...and we can't go anywhere, stuck at home.  Son and Amy are in Cardiff, Wales, no way they will be here.

So....went to Amazon and bought a beautiful 11 inch Lenox porcelain white cream color tree with colored small "lights" on it that light up when switch on bottom of tree is turned on (battery fed).  I already had a small manger scene with doors attached that close it in, or open it up.  Those two items are surrounded by gold small linked Christmas bells, and all this sits on red sparkling heavy duty paper. 

I put them in the middle of the kitchen table.  When I get sick and tired of the crap going on in the country, or just sick and tired, period, I go to the kitchen, get a drink, sit at the table and turn on the tree lights. This is what is real.  Jesus Christ was born and with us still.  Gefn, I wish you peace at this Christmas time.

That was the date , you all could come together?   Or typo?  24th?  And ^ 5!    :thumbsup:

December 21st is Winter Solstice, a holy day for Pagans.  I didn't know Myst is a Pagan...  :bolt:

I'm torn.

All the haranguing people not to celebrate the holidays while not shutting down the Christmas specials, the Christmas music, and everything else... it's just mixed signals. Like telling people they can't go to a football game then act shocked when they start gathering for house parties to watch it on TV.

But right now, I'm anhedonic. Most of the things that bring me joy are still gone with no promise they'll ever be back, and what remains doesn't give me joy anymore.

I'll observe Christmas out of holy obligation, but the merriness isn't there this year.

No change in Christmas Celebration from previous years for us.  But our "local" family group is small.

I was thinking of making a gingerbread house, especially after watching Mary Berry make one on last night's British Baking Show.

In honor of 2020, though, perhaps it should be a gingerbread crack house:

It's true, this has been a crazy year, like never before.  I agree, I can't wait to put this year behind us, however, I also agree with SZonian, everyone else can mope, but I want to make the most of it and carry on.  Also, we don't know what the future will hold, if all this will get better or worse, so I want to enjoy every moment I can with my family.  I hope you all have a great end of the year and Merry Christmas to all.
Fingers crossed 2021 will be a better and easier year.

That is hysterical.  Maybe it should be a gingerbread house under COVID quarantine.

Not a typo..The 21st is the only date we can all be together...My son wants Christmas Day at his house so the little ones can wake up to Santa's surprises.

Yep, that's me...I am a pagan.... ****slapping

I haven't felt like celebrating Christmas, or really any holiday for a long time at least since Bathhouse Barry started his destruction of America. It's just a general feeling of having the joy sucked out of life.
