How are you guys gonna spend Christmas?

[ConstantineParticipant 4420]

Hi all

This time of the year is a particularly good one when you don’t have kids. No offense to the guys on here who do, it must be fun spoiling your children whenever you’re able to. Sadly, in a world where presents are the least expensive duty in a father’s life, the season isn’t as jolly as it should be.

But enough of that downbeat…any exciting plans? Usually there’s a big family dinner at my place, but we may not be doing that this year because a lot of my relatives are overseas. If they squeeze something together anyway, I might try my hand at making piña coladas. If not, it’ll be the kind of day crammed with phone calls.

That’s okay with me. Just have to get something for my mum, my dad, and my sister. That’s it. Christmas morning I aim to sleep until noon, make pancakes, and duke it out on Castlevania in my underwear with a beer in tow.

How ’bout you?

Making a stealthy turkey for my father and neighbor.

A MGTOW CHRISTMAS!

Marriage and Divorce for a man is like getting a cactus shoved up your ass. It’s painful with all the spines that go in and it is painful getting all the spines out, meanwhile Wifey gets most of the money, your home, your kids, and practically everything you own.

I’ll be dog and bird sitting. My brother’s going to visit one of my nieces. I’m staying home. I’ll have peace and quiet…until I turn on the surround sound system.

🍗 Cool! I saw this recipe on TV that showed viewers how to roast a bird with alcohol flavouring.

You prop the chicken or turkey on top of a can (standing up) and cook it in the oven with the can inside it. Gets the essence saturated in.

You getting a tree?

I have my Charlie Brown tree up.

I use just like the video except with one difference. I use an propane oil less fryer. Actually worked great and can be used for other stuff as well. Pork tenderloins. Hams.
shish kabobs. Chicken legs

I’m gonna throw a 5-6 rib eye roast into the greaseless turkey fryer, break open a bottle of Single Barrel Jack, and fish all day.

I participate as little as possible during these pagan rituals. I’ll leave the Satan *cough* Santa worship to my heathen relatives.

I’m celebrating pass-over for Christmas the same way I celebrated pass-over for thanksgiving! I celebrate pass-over every time I don’t feel like doing something!

Taxes; pass-over

Fatherhood; pass-over

Marriage; pass-over

I don’t like it: pass-over

I’m not selfish, you can celebrate pass-over with me!

I’ll go to church, then come home make a ham in the oven, and turn on the stereo and play a two hour performance of midnight mass at Westminster cathedral.

I’m going to my mom’s house an hour away from me, open gifts. When my aunt and uncle get there, we have men in the living room watching man movies (I’m bringing “The Marine” and “The Marine 2”) and the women in the kitchen making Christmas dinner. Then the 26th, I come back home and my dad and I open our gifts, which I’m expecting a PS4 along with Best Buy gift cards and PlayStation Net cards.

For Christmas I’m getting my dad a Monty Python and The Holy Grail Blu-ray movie. My mom doesn’t want anything from anyone and if you get her something, she’ll make you feel guilty. Funny, because when she was married to my dad back in the 80s and early 90s, she would go to her room and cry if she didn’t get that 1 thing out of a list of 15 she wanted, but now if you get her anything, she makes you feel bad. She gives me her car 2 years ago to own and I when I got her 2 gifts to say thanks, she damned me for it.

Quit bragging 🙂
I suppose I will drive the 3hrs to my mothers. My Uncle is concerned I won’t show up leaving him in a house alone with 8 women. We always do pork on a charchoal spit so we can hang outside drinking

That sounds good, whereabouts?

Awesome. Nice that traditions still exist somewhere.

I wish my mum had that problem. She’ll tell me not to worry about getting her anything, then make me feel guilty if I don’t. But she’s fairly easy to please…massive Star Wars freak (of the originals, not the new one) so anything related to that is invariably a winner.

Me and my Critters. Turkey in the oven, game on the radio.

Spending time with my parents and sister and probably helping my mother cook.

What people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.

work.
making money.
and laughing all the way to the f~~~ing bank.

[PRichardParticipant 206]

I, like with most holidays, will tell my family a state away that I am working.

Then, my mentor “f~~~ing Macgyver in his 60’s” and I will put out a killer spreads of foods we like, drink Cutty Sark Scotch, smoke a cigar, play chess and watch old movies. I really do not believe that most guys in their 20’s get to experience enough days like this. Straight testosterone, with plenty of political and philosophical discussion.

I use to spend these days bitching about my generation and how I can’t seem to be like them. Now, I bask in it.

Merry Christmas, brothers.

If what you are doing is working, do not change a thing.

I finish my set of nightshifts on Xmas morning. I will go home, sleep and then planning on making some ribs and playing guitar, listening to music. It’s really the same as any other day for me.

[Puffin StuffParticipant 24979]

Drinking heavily. My brother in law is mad at me because at his last family function I drank all of his McClelland whiskey and he got all p~~~ed. So this year I asked my sister if it’s byob…she said yes…lol.

#icethemout; Remember Thomas Ball. He died for your children.

[ForeverDoneParticipant 2928]

Cook a nice meal, finish it up with a whiskey and a cigar. I hear it’s going to snow on XMas, so I will a little fire pit, and enjoy the festivities.
