Its been a while since we had a poll so as the festive season approaches I began to wonder what sort of things people are planning to do game-wise over the christmas break?

None. Will be lucky if I even get a wargaming based pressie
2 (5.6%)
none. Far too important a time for family and friends
0 (0%)
A little. Maybe an hour or so here or there when its quiet
12 (33.3%)
Quite a bit of game related activity and maybe a game or two
15 (41.7%)
A fair bit. There is quite a bit of game time factored into the break
4 (11.1%)
Loads - club meets will continue, I'll spend other bits of time on those to do lists
3 (8.3%)

I'll be mostly be painting. Though I may get the odd game of 40k (6th edition it's great  ;)) or WFB in with Goat Major Jr

Wouldn't that be Goat Minor then?  :D

I'm working up until close-of-play on Christmas Eve and then off until 7th January - so I'm really hoping to be able to catch up with myself - haven't painted anything in anger for a month  :(

Work / family stuff has been conspiring against my gaming of late as well - but we have got an all-dayer lined up for the Sunday between Christmas & New Year in the pub - so looking forward to that one!  8)

I got a game in Friday night (21st) and hoping to get another in between Xmas Day and New Year. Also hoping to meet up with some friends who are keen boardgamers, so we might also get a couple of games with them.

Got an hour's painting in this morning before the rest of the household woke up and probably will get a similar amount in most days (unless over indulgence the night before forces me to "sleep in"). ;)

Just getting over a nasty virus that has knocked out myself and SWMBO, so zero stuff done over the past week or so. Hopefully tonight I will actually be able to get in the kitchen (this is where I paint etc) and get some more basing done on my 2mm SYW forces. Well that's the plan!

I'm hoping to get a few 15mm zombie skirmishes and the odd WFB game if I'm lucky, failing that I'll try and tackle some painting (I have some vintage GW goblins and some foundry orcs to sort....)

You're damned right there Techno :(. We both can't taste anything and the classic blocked ears means I can hear my wife less than is normal in our marriage. Hmmm, maybe there is an upside to this cold malarkey :-\ ;) :).

Polished off my work about 11.30am today so now, all being well, I'm pretty free until 30th.

My sons are homes from uni/gap year so I hope to get at least one game of HOTT in with them.

I'm also planning to get some painting done - have quite a few Pendraken vikiings and saxons that are half-done.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.
