Christmas around the bad movie world

The more I think about it...drinking looks to factor into this Christmas, much like last year.  Should be interesting.

Fairly casual Christmas Eve with my mom's side of the family, at her brother's house (since he has a giant house).  Probably just eat sandwich platters and cookies, and I'm probably going to repeat last year's new tradition of having a discreet shot or two of vodka to keep me mellow when my uncles start rules-lawyering games.  They do this every time we get together for a games day -- one of them got so mad last time because he walked over to watch us play Scrabble, and learned we weren't keeping score. 

Christmas morning at home, open the presents, have a leisurely breakfast.

Christmas Day afternoon this year we're hosting Christmas, but doing so at my grandmother's house (she's getting senile, and can't really cope with hosting Christmas herself, but we don't have room at our house for my aunts and uncles and their kids).  Just going to be sandwich platters and finger food to keep things simple, because we don't have time to prepare anything fancy.

I havent put up a tree since 2007. This year I DO have a tree....real Charlie Brown one. I'll cook the turkey I get from my job. Dont get into Christmas too much anymore. Bad memories.
It will be cool when Adian gets the age I can buy him GI Joes and Hot Wheels!

Bittersweet, man.  I hope having the little one around helps ease the sting.

Let's see... Christmas Eve we have a big family brunch (25-30 people) and exchange gag gifts.  I'll also watch MST3K: SANTA CLAUS with my nephews and niece.  Maybe take in another bad movie and drink some beers (or mulled wine, if there's any left over).

Christmas morning sleep late, then exchange gifts with my mom and dad.  In the afternoon go over to see the kids & give them their presents.

For starters, there is no liver in Leberkäse   It's classic German hot lunch food "to go" served with mustard on a kaiser roll.
Good leberkäse should come with a crispy thick dark crunchy crust, and the meat's texture should be tender and 'wobbly' and should fall apart when taking a bite.
You can buy ready made Leberkäse at stores here but the texture is firm and heavy, which I don't always prefer. Some butchers offer leberkäse in tin foil roasting pans to bake at home.
Local restaurants also offer Leberkäse served with an fried egg, spinach and fried potatoes. Good stuff  

Sorry, term confusion.  Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut.  Thanks for the clarification.  Been trying to use it more but still forgetful.
