Christmas 2009

WOW!!!!!



It's only 2875657 Seconds until Christmas 2009. I can't wait. Start counting down!!

Or, you could just say it's 26 days away.



Either way, feel free to use this topic to chat in general about Christmas. What you want to get? What presents you'll be getting for others? Do you have an advent calendar this year? Anything Christmas related!



Thanks.

Anyway; I break up from school in 3 weeks, is this the same for everyone who goes to school? Or people who work, will you be off around the Christmas period?

We get out next week! Well, we've got class activities, but I hardly have any school spirit, nor do I like many of my classmates.



I like advent calendars, they taste great. But yeah, this is like the third Christmas thread or something. XD Oh well. I want to get a lot of computer games. Maybe Mass Effect 2 won't come out in time but oh well. And a new computer with superior specs.

Or maybe just a big box of Jelly Belly jellybeans, and another Pink Floyd shirt to replace my rapidly fading/peeling/dying/disintegrating/tearing shirt. That'd be nice.

Whoops, didn't realise there were other Christmas threads already?!

Next week!? How long do you get out for?

Err a month or two. In Australia, we have two week breaks every few months. Not like say, the US, where they have a massive long long long summer break. We separate it along the year more, instead of concentrating it at one time. When it comes down to it, we get around the same amount of time off.

Most places in the US are moving to what we call 'year-round' school. Those include several sets of 2 to 4 week breaks as opposed to the long summer break that most of America used to observe.

I'll be asking for a new phone, but either way it'll be an awesome Christmas as always.

I have absolutely no idea what to get my son. All the other shopping is finished.

Can't go wring with gift cards, or even better, cash. That way he if he doesn't like what he buys, he only has himself to blame.

Mine is 15. And I'm totally stumped. Maybe some music--he likes metallica, ac/dc, black sabbath..... (gads, I raised a metal-head)

some clothes, but I don't have any idea of a WOW! gift..... hmmmm, still thinking.

In NZ, you get 2 weeks off every 10 weeks or so. Then you get 2 - 3 months off for summer.
