This weekend is Christmas, which means different things for a lot of different people. I thought it'd be nice to chat a bit about our plans for the weekend for two reasons:
1. I like hearing what different people do during this holiday!
2. If you've got some free time and want to try and play some video games let us know, maybe we can party up!
Christmas has always been half a working holiday for me, as almost every year since High School I have been contracted to play a Christmas Eve mass for a Church. It's always a good gig; easy music that sound beautiful, the service is always joyful and about love and peace, and I usually make a decent amount of money. This year is no different, I've got a 10pm Mass at the same Church I've played for quite a few different holidays. That means I'm gone Christmas Eve making money from 7pm until about midnight.
As for Christmas Day I celebrate the way my family often does. Being Jewish we go see a movie and eat Chinese food. This year is no different. Luke and I have tickets to see Rogue One at noon, and we've already confirmed that the Chinese place a walk from our apartment will be open.
Since Chanuakkah starts on Christmas Eve this year, I'll also be lighting the menorah at sundown like normal. And because I have both Friday AND Monday off from my day job I'll get almost four full days (minus gig time) to relax! Luke and I are going to try and finish Kings Quest on Sunday while eating Chinese, and I hope to get a good amount of either Halo or Gears Horde in as well. So if anyone wants to party up let me know!
So tell us your plans for the Holiday, and if you are looking for some game time!
