Even though the majority of the people in my country (Belarus) are Orthodox Christians, a sizeable portion of the population is Roman Catholic. Thus, we have two Christmas holidays to celebrate: the 25th of December (Catholic) and the 7th of January (Orthodox). The Orthodox Christmas is generally much more serious than the over-commercialized Catholic Christmas.
However, people give presents around here on New Year's Eve, like in most former republics of the USSR that are not Muslim.
 
If I'm not called upon to do a double tomorrow, I plan on making some chocolate truffles to take over to my in-laws on Tuesday afternoon. My manager scheduled me to two AM utility shifts(fingers crossed that it stays that way) and thankfully granted my request for Christmas day off. I'm looking forward to spending the day with my in-laws, their dogs and cat, my husband, and not answering my phone if it's work.
 
Merry Whatever You Celebrate to everyone here on the forums! May your plans turn out how you hope and if not, well, that sucks.

Since I'm unable to get home for the holidays, I'll be having friends over for a dinner followed by a lovely party with copious amounts of alcohol.
 
Tonight I'm gonna watch my usual holiday special line-up. They are on video tapes taped way back in the 90s so there are still all of those nostalgic commercials on them in between.
 
Going to be spending time with my family (but unfortunately not with my fiance since he'll be with his family). We'll finish wrapping gifts and such in Christmas Eve and open presents on Christmas morning. In the afternoon we'll have Christmas dinner (turkey AND ham!) and do whatever when we're stuffed. Maybe a movie or a game.
 
My parents and uncle and I go over to my grandma's house the next town over for Christmas eve, and then we all head out to the valley to spend Christmas day with the rest of my family. My Aunt makes seriously dank cheesy potato cassorole.
 
It's going to be a tough one this year. My sister is seriously mentally ill and declining daily. I feel horrible and selfish for resenting her for "ruining" Christmas with her crazy outbursts, random crying jags and violence. I feel like a terrible sister for thinking, "why can't she be normal for one day?" I know she can't help it. But its hard.

For what it's worth you have my sympathy,Mental illness in those close to you is hard,especially in the holiday/happy season.
 
I'm sorry, littlebiscuits. That sounds rough.

I'm not planning anything unusual. Just a quiet day at home with my parents and brother. My brother has until Thursday off so I'll get to hang out with him a lot this week.

I thought things were bad when my brothers got into a tiff this evening, and then I read your story. Mental illness sucks for everyone; for both the person with it and his or her loved ones. Hopefully you'll see something good out of this Christmas.

Aww, you guys the best. Sorry to ruin the happy Christmas thread with my drama. Mental illness in a family is horrible. If you'll allow me a "Very Special Cwcki Forum Christmas" moment, I would like to say, escaping to a forum full of hilarious people speculating and chattering about some of the biggest weirdos the internet has to offer, really helps. :heart-full:

Aww, man you guys made me get all sentimental. I'll go back to being a cynical bitch now.
