treasure60 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Usually we have two Christmases one with my relatives the week before at my house, then on Christmas Day at my house of my son's house.
mugs Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 This is our first Christmas as a married couple... I have no idea! Jenni's dad will be in Maui, her mom wants to go skiing in Utah, my parents will be home in NJ. I don't want to use up a bunch of vacation days so early in the year (our new year starts the day after Christmas).
Gloey Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We go to our son's home because of our GD. We all feel she should be allowed to stay at home and play with her toys that day and not be drug around. Besides who can count on the weather in Chicago!
mrn8 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We have it at either my parent's house or our house. We have the bigger living rooms, so my sisters and grandparents join us. Her mom and brother usually come by on Christmas Eve or later in the day on Christmas.
Flutterbye Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We have Christmas Eve at TJ's grandparents (set 1), early Christmas morning at home together, Christmas Brunch at TJ's other grandparents (set 2), Christmas Dinner with TJ's parents, day after Christmas morning at my parents home, and day after Christmas evening at my grandparents. It's so hectic.....
SuperMommy Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We usually go to my moms for Christmas Eve. Then we have Christmas at our house in the morning. Then go to my grandmothers around 1 or 2 (I am one of the older of her grandchildren, the youngest is 3). Thats about 30 people there. Then we make it to my MILs around 7 on Christmas Day. So our schedule is pretty full!
Kandy Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We have two christmas one at my house and one at my grandparents house.
Meltz Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 At the movie theater and then the Chinese restaurant.
Keebelf Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 It varies from year to year. Sometimes we go up to VA to spend it with Chris' parents, and other times we stay down here and open presents and then go 45min. North to St. Mary's GA to have Christmas lunch/dinner with Chris' aunt and her family and Chris' brother (and Chris' Mom and Dad if they come down if no-one is going up.) This year Mom and Dad are coming down for Chrstmas so we will be staying home or going to Aunts house.
gijimenez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I will spend christmas eve anywhere but Christmas day I have to be home. I love doing the traditional christmas thing. Hispanics are use to celebrating christmas eve with the big dinner and than at 12:00 we open gifts but not me I wait till Christmas morning.
nellyhill Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 We have Christmas at home with friends a few days before Christmas. My mom and brothers and sister come to that. Then Christmas eve we have our gift opening. Christmas morning is Santa gifts then we head off to FILs house. A few days after Christmas we go to DHs Grandmas house for Christmas with that side of the family. I do no like my extended family much so we do not see them. I usually spend Thanksgiving with them before heading off to work.
groverbill Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Christmas Day is always at our house. We "both" start making things for the dinner a few days in advance so that all thats left to do is bake the bird, and make the potato's
rosegarden Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 DH put his foot down about 10 years ago and said no more driving on Christmas Day. We can drive any other day but this is one day of the year we are staying home. I happen to LOVE it.
erh12275 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We will follow in my parents tradition and open our presents and then go to his grandmas later and eat and open their gifts.
Karmon Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 My family lives locally and my DH's family lives in Vegas. We go out there every summer for a month and every other Christmas. We were suppoised to go this year, but his family is coming to Vas next year so we are staying home and spending it with my family. We open presents with our kids in the morning then see my parents later in the morning for the kids to open presents etc...
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We do our own at home in the morning, go to my moms at about noon, and my husbands mothers for dinner
dorkydiva Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We will go to my parents' on Christmas Eve and the in-laws some other time (has not been determined yet). But we are always home for Christmas morning.
elena_398 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We have christmas eve with my mother-in-law, christmas day at home but later go to my parents for dinner
tootsieroll23 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 We have Christmas at my mom's on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning is at our house. Christmas night at the in-laws house.
Guest all2tired Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Normally we go to my brother's on Christmas eve and we all give the neices and nephews their gifts. Christmas day we stay home. The kids would rather play with their new toys than have to go visit everybody. This year, we will be staying home on Christmas eve and I'll have my father deliver the gifts for the neices and nephews.
