So how do you guys celebrate your holidays? Whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other holiday that I have failed to mention?

Every year on the 24th we have a sushi dinner downtown Toronto with friends and family.
On the 25th, we have a Christmas party at my aunt's.

So. How DO YOU celebrate your holidays?

Parents going to church gathering, I don't want to go since I'm the failure (all their kids are doctors, 99% student, etc and I'm not even +70%.) and everyone looks down on me (I feel very uncomfortable, and I can't say anything because my parents will lose face which is bad for me in long run). Brother taking the other car and goin partyin till dawn with his friends (as usual). Sister has her own car so she partyn all night long with her friends (most likely). Not going out this year cause I went last year, and its a pain for me (No car, I have to bike in winter) and my wallet to go every year.

tl;dr, bowl of fried rice, glass of water and vidya games this year. yea.

Sleep, eat, repeat.

Family?

I celebrate Christmas with my family of course. I'm Filipino and my family do the traditional way of celebrating Christmas:
Every year my family and I gather to one of my relative's house and we eat food at midnight. That is called Noche Buena. Afterwards the adults would sing karaoke all night long. Filipinos are quite famous from singing karaoke all the time

I eat butterscotch candy canes and watch cheesy movies

the same way i celebrate every other day

In my hometown, I have an aunt and an uncle from my mom's side. Every year, each of our families has a holiday (I say holiday because they aren't always on or before Christmas) dinner, either homemade or out to a restaurant. After eating, us kids go play video or board games while the adults go chat such. So pretty much think of your family dinners and multiply it by 3.

traditional Polish Christmas. Lots of food, family and board games (cranium rules)

I typically kick ass and chew bubblegum. But atm I'm all out of gum. So I'll be kicking ass this X-mas.

Didn't think an engineer would feel like a failure at a family gathering...
Why don't you talk about some of the awesome physics concepts you learned in ECE and watch their faces when they don't understand

christmas is just another day. the only thing it brings is boxing day where we just go out and buy cheap stuffs. new years is also kinda overrated imo. does bring big parties with good food though

something like this

I cry alone in a bathtub surrounded only by lobsters that have those elastic bands around their claws.

Good stuff.
