Whatever holiday you're celebrating, hope you're enjoying it.

I'm starting to wonder whether my parents and I really celebrate Christmas or whether we should just call it Winter Holiday or something. I mean, we don't really do any Christmas-y stuff. We've even stopped cooking most of the traditional Polish Christmas food - we still do a few dishes, but the main meal on Christmas Eve is sashimi. And we open all our presents immediately thereafter. There aren't many presents to open, because throughout November and December, whenever anyone mentions something they want for Christmas, they generally receive it a few days later, because my parents and I aren't so good at self-restraint. Why wait? So I've already received a whole bunch of stuff, including the griddler from my amazon wishlist, and a bunch of books and cds. Though I am hoping to unwrap a new ipod tonight...

Christmas Day we sleep in, make waffles for breakfast, go to the movies, and then generally go to someone's house for Christmas Dinner (people seem to assume that a family consisting of 3 people must get awfully lonely on such occasions, so we get a lot of pity invites) and get wasted.

How do you do your holidays?
