    I don't really do much at this time of year, just read and eat pavlova mostly.

    But my sims did something.
    I built them an Aussie style farm house by the sea, and sent them there for Simsmas

    I tried to get everyone sitting at once, but they were too busy playing musical chairs.

    The menu included roast chicken, fruit salad, baked potato and salt n pepper shrimp cocktail, followed by fruitcake.
    My sims are stuffed, and wishing it was safe to go swimming in the sea.

    For me @EA_Mai and @EA_Spectre joined me for a very lovely evening of dinner, gifts and movies!

    EA_Mai and I recreated my living room in Sims to celebrate that :)

    And yes the below scene played out pretty much exactly like this:

    Sim challenge #2.

    I had my sims throw a dinner party and had all the guests show up in their sweater outfits. It was going to be an ugly sweater event ... but I didn't think there was enough ugly sweaters to around ... so it just got changed to a wear your cold sweater event.

    I sent my best chef to the stove to cook up a roasted chicken. He decided he had to do something else while it was cooking, so the bird ended up getting trashed and not eaten ... so he whipped up some chicken stir-fry instead ( with fruit cake for dessert ).

    Some decided to eat around the dining room table.

    Some decided to go eat and watch the TV instead of being social ...

    Of course there was dancing. Ivan, this is a Christmas party, not a woo-hoo party. Quit looking at her backside and just dance.No cougar dates in the future for you ...

    3APf4rq.jpg
    Some ambled into the game room to watch movies.

    Ywh2PtR.jpg
    The youngest wanted to dance, so she and her daddy danced. And yes, that is her father, not her grandfather. And ... there are no sweater options for toddlers, so no ugly Christmas sweater was available.

    As the party kept on, the cat grew tired and decided to sleep in their holiday sweater.

    The next day, anyone who was in school took a day of vacation, everyone that held jobs took the day off and they went down to the park to enjoy a little family time.

    The little one did like the slide ...

    And hiding in the ball pit.

    They grilled hamburgers to eat on the tables ... well, some of them ate at the tables.

    Mom and dad decided to join their baby inside the kids clubhouse to eat with her. Yes, that is the biological daughter, not the grand-daughter. She was just born real late in her parents life.

    11emsBa.jpg
    The little one wanted to pet the kitty. Looked more like a beat down on the head of the kitty then petting.

    Then everyone wanted to pay attention to the kitty.

    So that is how they celebrated the day. A nice dinner party with their closest friends and a small family outing the next day.

    Nice pics! My sims always have a massive family get togethers :)

    The Guillory family: Invited extended family over and had roast chicken, tofu roast chicken (daughter is vegie), fruitcake and bomb alaska. Grandpa dressed up as Santa. I forgot to pop the crackers, so they might have another little get together today.

    Overview of the family (some are missing from the shot though).

    Reilly family: Friends and family came over also for roast and cake. A much more casual family. They didn't mind the family friend rocking a towel... it's all good. His daughters would've been embarrassed though, haha.

    Now I see I must attend to the shrub sticking through the wall of the Guillory's house :D

    So, my sim - Marisa - was still at work thinking of what kind of party she wanted to have. She was still so new to the neighborhood, and only met a few people. Her 3 neighbors in the apartment next door, and a handful of people down in the square. Since her own apartment was just as small, she knew she couldn't invite a whole lot. But, she was hoping that those she did invite would show up and at least have a good time.

    Marisa looks happy that her guests are enjoying themselves ...

    While Marisa was in the kitchen talking with one of the girls, everyone else was gathering around the tv.

    Nothing to snazzy when you have a camping at the lake Christmas lunch, usually something quick and easy like hotdogs, mmmm. Everyone in togs (swimsuits) cause its really hot in the morning when you woke up and opened your presents, so the whole family went for a nice swim and fish before lunch time. After lunch everyone will find a spot to have a snooze and afterwards its more swimming and family fun time :)

    Day 2 contest entry:

    My Sim Kimberly's Christmas is a sad and lonely one as she had just lost her husband. He was killed 5 days after Thanksgiving in a firefight in Falusha where he served as a Corporal in the Army. Just imagine her surprise when she arrived at their vacation home to see the mountain of gifts from his fellow servicemen.

    7zqnNFw.png

    She got right on the computer to send thanks and holiday wishes to them.

    She starts her Christmas dinner of spaghetti.

    It's so sad that she is eating alone.

    She decides to get out of the house for some fresh air and fishing.

    She comes back to the house and lights a fire, just like they did together.

    Before turning in for the night, she reads an entry from her late husbands journal he kept while serving in the Army. Most of the entries are like love letters to her.

    I only had time to do one room but it's not too bad.

    Mommy and daughter enjoy a special memory as it's Maya's first Christmas. Daddy is wrapping one more gift upstairs. Don't tell anyone but they forgot it. :o

    Before gifts are opened (and while they wait on Daddy), Mommy reads Maya a special story.

    I hope everyone has a special holiday this year no matter what you celebrate. <3

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

    For a long time, I've slept late on Simsmas morning, and now, my husband and I do. So, I decided to create a bedroom. Sleeping in is how I start celebrating that day. Then, I open presents, visitors come to our house, and then, we have dinner.
