So, let's get this party started.  Share your Christmas stories, gifts, food, etc., here.  We just had breakfast and are getting ready to unwrap the goodies Santa left.  Here is Mr. Shatner to help us get the celebration going!

Just woke from our traditional Christmas Eve Extravaganza!made it until 2am this year. We had snow here last night during the party and dinner, it was magical. Now we slowly rally, open presents, and then more good food, good drink, great company tonight. Merry Christmas to all you wonderful geeks. :)

Carol and I opened gifts this morning.  Making eggs benedict and panetone french toast for breakfast.  Kids will be over later to see what "Santa Perrone" left for them under the tree.  Last night we watched Scrooge with Albert Finney (never gets old).  Heading out tonight to see Les Mis.

Sitting in Hawaii over here, Christmas festivities are postponed until Friday when we get back, :(
Being half-Jewish can be great sometimes, but sometimes it's really annoying. Hawaii is great and all, but this is the 3rd year in a row that I haven't been home for Christmas, instead traveling to one place or another, and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Just woke up to an all sci-fi christmas. Got some cool sci-fi stuff, now I have to get food ready. My wife knows me well, last night we had a funny conversation.

Me: Guess what tomorrow is? It's going to be great!
Her: Christmas?
Me: ... Oh yeah ... that too, but It's Doctor Who Attack of the Snowmen Day.
Her: That's tomorrow?
Me: Yeah.
Her: Cool!

We got to enjoy spending time with Nathan & Ivy-  at their home-  went out for chinese food last night.  Now just woke up to a white Christmas!  First one since 2008.   Going to open gifts and make a yummy breakfast.  Part of the family is headed to Les Miserabe later while I cook a nice turkey dinner!    Merry Christmas!

Awesome Christmas, my wife got me the record player I've been wanting forever, now I can play all my vinyl I've been collecting! Plus some Xbox games and blurays, and the Five Doctors, which I've also been eyeing for a while. The best part of course was watching 4 kids tear into their presents and freaking out. Makes it all worth it.

Kind of cool.

Just got done opening up the loot Santa left everyone.  I made out pretty good.  I got Lynn a Kindle Fire HD and some other stuff.  Kids loved their stuff too.

Check out my loot pile (I think people here know me pretty well)

Ooooh, the Star Trek TV soundtrack...NICE.

Ooooh, the Star Trek TV soundtrack...NICE.

Yeah baby!  I'm so excited to start listening to that set.  Expect LOTS of TOS music on upcoming podcasts.

[ChrisMC]

Yes, I can see my new obsession will be searching through record bins for old stuff, I already ordered the Star Wars vinyl I used to have when I was a kid.

How many discs is that?

Insane around our house right now, the wife preparing our traditional Xmas day dinner for the extended families, and me keeping tabs on four kids ensuring the house doesn't get too trashed before people get here
