I just checked the calendar now and with all the declared holidays from December 24 to January 1, including weekends, that would all together be a long Christmas vacation.
What are your plans for these days?
Where are you going to spend the Christmas vacation? Have a family reunion? Go out-of-town? Or would you rather stay home? Or are you like me, still forced to work even on holidays?

i just arrived from abroad then. i will probably stay at home for a while. if i get bored, then i'll go out with my sister and friends. i don't think i can go to provinces for vacation, but if someone invites me, then its okay! :) [lrglara]
thanks for the welcome back! see you around. [lrglara]
Hi there, I'm going out of town for a while and will be back a few days before Christmas day. I don't know yet what will happen then coz i still have to meet with family members about plans and all. What we have planned ahead though is the reunion with other relatives before the new year, then there's a christmas fellowship after Christmas Day, then there's a Christmas party planned by former High school classmates, then my cousins planned for an all girl cousins Christmas bonding. Very busy then and wish us all lots of happiness.coolhappy [sandymay16]
Hello Sandymay, Wow, you have lots of planned activities already for the Christmas break!!! Normally, reunions are set at this time, since majority can attend at this time of the year. We can always look forward to reunions! Don't forget to take pictures! Have fun! [mitziverde]
I don't have a definite plan this Christmas. But all I wanted is to enjoy the season and be with my loved ones. We have a lot of options for the upcoming vacation. One of them is to go to the province and one is to spend time in amusement parks. [nengs10]
Hello Nengs, Yes, whatever activities you may have, I wish you enjoy doing them! We want to go to the province too, but i think its quite expensive for the whole family to we decided to re-schedule it for next year. You're right, we just have to enjoy the season and like you, I want to be with my loved ones also! Let's have fun! lol [mitziverde]
Hi there mitziverde! Wow! Work even on holidays? You mean, even during Christmas and New Year's Day? Wow! You must really be a great employee! This coming Christmas break would be a great one! Our relatives will be coming home from different parts of the world. We will be having one great family reunion. I am so excited. I really can't wait for the Christmas break! [dolce_vita78]
Hi, dolce_vita! Not exactly that I'm in the office on Christmas and New Year's day, I am also on-leave but I am always on-call. My job requires me to be on standby and wait for my Boss' call at anytime, any day. happy Wow, a great family reunion! That's really something to look forward to! Are you the one doing the preparations for that event? [mitziverde]
I know that Christmas is just a few sleep away and the bookings in my Chrsitmas activities are already full. Too bad but anyway I expected a lot to happen especially some gatherings to meet mostly of my old friends or some kind of a reunion. [kaguvkov]
Hello kaguvkov, how are you doing? you're right, its quite difficult to get bookings for Christmas. But you can get the most of it having reunions on some restaurants, meeting your friends over a common friends' house, or the most common, meet your friends in the shopping mall and decide where to go after! Whatever it is, enjoy the holidays! happy [mitziverde]
My plan this holiday, i will visit my brothers, sisters & friends. Make a List of gifts for my nieces & nephews! blink Make a list for some items, shopping spree .... spending money LOL Make an appointment to my hair stylist for hair treatment ... I want my hair always soft & shinny! whistle And the other ... I don't know yet. [anjielyn]
Hi, Anjielyn! It seems that you have planned out your activities well! Enjoy and make the most of it dearie! [mitziverde]

I would love to go to Disneyland and see their Christmas over there for the first time. I've been there before but during the summer months. Not only I want to see the Christmas there, I also want to take my baby there. I want to see her eyes light up when she sees all the vibrant colors and the liveness there. My husband and I have been talking about it and I've been looking into the costs. We will probably go. [lynnbear]
Hello lynnbear! I want to bring my baby there too. But maybe when he's a little older so he's more aware and can appreciate it being there too. Have fun with your family! Share your pics! happy [mitziverde]

hello figjam00... that's okay. then probably you'll be resting and just staying at home? that's a very nice way to recharge your energies and just simply enjoy the holidays/ vacation! happylolhappy [mitziverde]
Nothing really special. Normally those days are to be spent with the family. For Christmas I will stay at home as I work all the other days around it, and for new year most likely I will go to visit my parents. [overwings]
Hi Overwings, Spending the holidays with the family is already special! happy I wish you find time to do whatever other activities that may come your way for the holidays! And wishin you enjoy them! lol [mitziverde]
Hello there friend! How are you? Yeah, the holidays are coming and they are coming really fast, especially now that halloween is almost ending. I still have no plans this Christmas holiday. I really want to go out-of-town. My former office mates are planning for a trip to either Davao or Panay but I am not sure if I can dig in because my brother will be coming home from abroad. So maybe, I will just stay at home or visit relatives in the nearby province. I also want to bring my nieces and nephew in the Manila Ocean Park and Star City this coming holiday. Well. Let's just see what will happen then. happy Happy halloween! happy [iamcdy]
hi iamcdy, i'm doing good my friend! hope you are too! Wow! Davao! Panay! great places to go! ohh, you're not sure if you can go with them... but it's okay, since its your brother who's going to be with you here. but, is there a way to arrange your schedule to accommodate both? going to davao/ panay, and be with brother at the same time? or bring your brother with you? ohh.. that would be like a chaperone! not a good idea either! but anyway, Manila Ocean park is a great idea! we're planning to go there too! I might bump into your group there! he he. anyway, im sure there will be more activities to come. enjoy them all, my friend. and don't forget the photo ops! [mitziverde]
well i think i will go on holiday ,but i afraid that i have no chance to do tha t,,i can not afford the time and my family do not allow me to traveled alone so i really a fraid that i have no chance to do that waht a pity!!!!i think travel do good to our healthy and it is also a good way to see more about our world adn enlarge our eye know more about other country [rowe0525]
hello rowe! of course you are right in saying that travel can be beneficial to you as a person! well, don't worry my friend, if you can't tavel now, i am sure there will be more chances in the future! don't be sad... there will be more things to do on the coming holidays! cheers, mitz [mitziverde]
shopping of course! buy gifts and do some errands! there's so much more to do on holidays and everyone's on the rush. [starrfish]
great! i also want to go shopping! hope i will have the time to do that. see you around here in mylot, starrfish! [mitziverde]
i'll be taking a long break from work during that time. trying to plan for a holiday getaway but if not i'll just chill out with friends and family, clean the house, catch up with my rest and sleep and do all the things that i can't do when i'm working!happy [kevsgirlalways]
hello kevsgirlalways, i want to do the same: catch up with rest and sleep! how i wish i could do that! if there's anything else you plan to do, or if something will come up, feel free to update us! cheers, Mitzhappy [mitziverde]
all i want to do on Christmas vacation/ holidays is: SLEEP, SLEEP and SLEEP! but as you know, i would be working on those days. we might be on skeletal force but still, i would be at the office. how i wish i could also spend time at home and do the luxury of just eating and sleeping and eating and sleeping! =) [ethanonthemoon]
Take it easy, Ethan. Don't worry, your work will be compensated for sure. And from what i know of you, you enjoy working. Besides, you have an internet access in your office so you can still do something you enjoy on breaktime! he he he wink [mitziverde]
