Relaxing because working retail around this time is killing me, and probably spending time with my friends who have came back from school and family.

Not sure for christmas itself. Home is over 10 hours away so I'm not going. Looks like this weekend will be a kick back and relax time. Oh yeah, I'll be installing the '07 tails this weekend.

New years I'll be heading to a college town to visit a friend there. 3 days of partying with New Years being ugly shirt day.

I have to:
1) drive the minivan (at least it's an Odyssey) instead of the TL
2) to visit the in-laws
3) in Sacramento, which is the California equivalent of Indiana or Provo, Utah...

Happy Holidays and best wishes to all.

I'm not doing much of anything, as usual. Going out for Christmas Day lunch with the wife and daughter.

No snow here in sunny Florida, but there is a good chance of rain.

I get 10 days off work so I will visit the parents and stuff like that most likely.
But I do need to do a few things...

1. wash the car
2. put the rest of the aspec kit on
3. clay and detail the car (if I can get the products soon)
4. photoshoot
5. get drunk? <~ this may end up a daily thing for the next 10 days

Oh and have a Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays everyone. Ring in the new year with smiles and most of all (this should be a given) drive safely.

Working until the 28th but on the 29th I'm off to New Orleans for New Years Eve than back to back travel for January... starting Jan 1st.

Nothing like recouping from a hangover while crammed in a metal tube being hurled through the air at 500 miles an hour through the endless blue abyss of the sky.

Me and the whole family will be at the hospital during xmas eve and xmas day to visit my grandfather who is very ill. He's been in the hospital since the 1st or 2nd week of November. Too bad he wasn't there during Thanksgiving and now he won't be here at home for our traditional Christmas Eve party. It won't be the same having the old man there. I hate going to the hospital because it reminds me of my grandmother when she passed away last January.

Oh... and I think my girlfriend got me the Comptech Sway bar for one of my gifts!! I really want the Zaino kit as well.

Thanks trancemission. At one point he was getting better, but now it looks like he's getting weaker. It happens....

Happy Holidays everybody!

We'll be driving the TL to from the Bay Area to the Sierra Foothills to visit family. Fortunately for me, they're below the snow line because I am basically a snow virgin. Yep, afraid of snow, that's me, what can I say. It's been about 40 degrees here for the last couple of weeks and I am dying, I'm ready to move to LA. Well almost.

Hey Will, I'm feelin' ya, I had to make that drive three years in a row. You going 99 or 5? They both suck! I agree about Sacramento BTW, it's one of NorCal's low points, literally and figuratively. Stay safe!

We're taking off to Big D tomorrow morning to visit my husband's family. Then it's back to Austin for a few days and then down to Galveston to see my family for New Year's.

I'm technically on vacation until Jan 3, but somehow I feel I'll be called for work-related stuff. The other guy I work with decided to go off to Fiji for a week and a half and no one's going to be at the office to work on all those "network" problems that always turn out to be something else.

Hey! Watchit!

I'm IN Provo, Utah! I'm spending Christmas with my sister and her (BIG) family. Mormons are like rabbits.

I had a conference in Reno at the begining of the month and then drove here in a rental 2007 Caddy DTS. Crossing Nevada dessert was fun but it was speed limited to 111 MPH.

I'm up to my ass in rug-rats but that's always fun at Christmastime. At least I can leave and go back to Florida for peace, quiet, and 76 degree top-down weather.

Winter is also the dry season for Florida so the top stays down on my Jeep Wrangler for months at a time.

Today, I'm looking out the window at about a foot of snow and wrapping the last of the presents. When done, I will make a (fast) move for the hot tub outside. It's about 17 degrees. Jeez! I keep my freezer at home warmer than this!

Dave

Here in Utah, it's snowing as we speak. We have gotten about 4" of fresh snow so far today and it's coming down heavy. Snow is predicted through Christmas Eve and then a clear, sunny Christmas Day.

Just right for Santa's reindeer and sleigh.

I wonder if one of these will fit in his sleigh?

I started my two and a half weeks vacation yesterday.

I started it off by hitting the slopes at a local ski resort. Since my cousins have a cabin up at Big Bear over the holidays, there are plans for more snowboarding. Fresh powder would be nice, but then again it's So Cal.

My friends are trying to arrange some New Years Eve party, but nothing final yet.

Other than that, just relaxing and waiting to see what comes my way.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Macruz19, i know how you feel. 2 years ago, my grandpa was hospitalized a couple days after thanksgiving. I spent all my winter break next to his bedside, and I would not have spent it otherwise. It was great listening to him talk about past times. He passed away January 3rd, 2004, and i miss hell outta him, but I'd never trade in the time spent in the hospital for anything. I pray that your grandpa gets better. Take care, and happy holidays.

Taking ten days off to spend with the firstborn son and my wife. No travel plans, just going to hold my beautiful baby, read some books, and watch movies in the family room "theater". Probably won't leave the house for several of those days.
