Woohoo! Alone for Christmas this year.

This is going to be my first Christmas ever where I am truely alone. I actually like this idea for some twisted reason. I'm gonna have zero responsibility this year. Shopping was done early, cards mailed, etc.

My father left for Palau to go scuba diving and won't be back until Jan 5th.
My mother in law left for New York to be with her other daughter and grand kids.
My wife is leaving on a plane tomorrow to be with our kids and grandson.

Now, I'm just thinking of what I can do and what kind of fun I can have without getting in too much trouble. :shocked:

So what wouldjado if you were me?

I've ruled out hookers
No blow
no alcohol

Might I go somewhere? Maybe I'll go out of town too and immerse myself in a casino and room, perhaps?
Go skiing?
 
travel and just bask in sightseeing. Well, i'm on a boat w/ 59 other strangers that i've warmed up to in these past 4 weeks we've been together. It's been fun thus far, and look foward to our own makeshift-family christmas bash away from home, in the middle of the south atlantic ocean haha. Well, of course, I've already received requests for people to skype back home, but, I told all of them that I can only grant 1 skype session at a time due to our limited bandwidth. ugh.. I hope it won't be a busy christmas 😛.

 
Dude! As one married man to another; I am HAPPY FOR YOU!! 😀

I understand the aversion to blow and hookers....but no alcohol? You cleaned up completely, years ago, I guess?

Well...being that you mentioned gambling, I guess you've already put the bug in your own ear. That's obviously your thing...nothing wrong with that as long as you have control. Like any other addiction. 😉

Have fun gambling and only take with you waht you can afford to lose.

Me personally? When I can make my wife go away for a few days, I buy a half gallon of Jack Daniels and I stay home and watch DVD after DVD in my pajamas. Then I take a shower, continue to drink and play videogames. This pleases me.

Enjoy! And Merry Thank God I'm Alone Finally Christmas to you!
 
Go skiing. Enjoy it. I would just love to go up skiing, get into a woodsy part with a DSLR, and take some pictures.
 
Me too.. I'm going to be in a hotel near LAX for Christmas. I hope a McDonalds or something is open around there though 🙁

SWEET.. I've been to California 3 times and always mean to go to an In N Out. Two times on road trips I didn't see the sign until after the exit and there wasn't another exit for a long time, third time I was living in Norcal for 3 months but was in Arcata and there were no In N Outs.

Even if it isn't open on Christmas I got some time on the 26th too. Now I'm excited.

edit: google maps shows it is on the way to the UPS store I have to walk to... things are lining up perfectly

You obviously didn't read the OP before you fired off a reply. :roll:

Yes I did actually, I was curious as to why he won't be going

Because he's SMART and wormed his way out of it. Are you married? 😉 I give my wife money to go see her friends in the next city over. Yes; she calls me all the time while there and NO, she's not screwing around (it's all girls anyway.). So I understand his point. It's worth $200 for me to have two days of peace and quiet.

Because they have more time off than I do. I get Christmas and the following Friday. They have vacation time of 2 weeks plus. Trust me, I'm fine with this. A man needs his own time every now and then. :laugh:

 
Just to clarify - you said no hookers. Does that rule out Casual Encounters from CL or just some local amateur talent? 😉

Enjoy your time alone and don't ruin it by coming up with an agenda. Just go with the flow, because lord knows you can't do that when you have family around.
 
A 4 day weekend filled with furious masturbation and neffing

since you already ruled out hookers and blow...
 
What were some things you couldn't do because of the wife? Make a list and we'll help you out.

No, not a "cruise." It's a science expedition, and I'm working. Yes, I am working through christmas and new years 😛.

This was what we went through two days ago:

Holy Jebus! :Q It looks like you're working on the scene of The Deadliest Catch! Side Note: Were you the guy that was asking how to make a laptop survive in sub-zero conditions? (in one of the other forums, here at AT)? I'm too lazy to go look. 😛

That's a serious wave there. Doubly big when you're far from home (and land) and don't really "know" anyone on board.

Props to you for thinking "our own makeshift family XMas." 🙂 Christmas is where your heart is, my friend. If it's on that ship with your shipmates, then so be it. Merry Christmas! 🙂
