ajburlingame Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 This year we are having a christmas party at work during regular business hours and I do not think my husbands employer is having anything at all so we have a total of 6 holiday celebrations which includes Christmas morning at our house. We will go to my Grandpa (dads dad) on Sat. Dec. 17 for pot luck. We will go to my other Grandpa (moms dad) for breakfast on Sat. Dec. 24. We always spent the afternoon and evening of Christmas Eve at my parents house. We will have Christmas with my daughter on Christmas morning, noon on Christmas day at my inlaws and supper on Christmas evening at my Grandma's (moms mom). We should be exhausted by the end of the day on Christmas. We are so lucky that everyone lives within a 15 mile area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huseboy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Things have changed since we have moved so now we will continue the tradition neighborhood party (in the old neighborhod) then go to my moms for the family get together which will now all be on Christmas eve. Then off 200+ miles back home to wait for Santa and then MIL all on CHristmas. Should be a all new experience. I have never missed Christmas morning at my moms until now.

dealdiva Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 We do Christmas Eve with my dad and on Christmas day we go to 3 different places (relatives both sides) after we open our gifts first thing in the a.m. I've never been home much on Christmas day, even when I was a kid. We always packed up and went to my Aunts house and Grandparents. We still make the "rounds" on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalle1212 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 It was so simple before the kids and the husband came along. Now we have Christmas eve at my moms or aunts and then to his dads house. Christmas day is my moms again and then to his moms. I hate all the running around but everyone wants to see the kids!

dorkydiva Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Christmas Eve at my parents' house Haven't decided on when to have it with the in-laws. They are talking about coming to our house Christmas Day. Christmas morning at our house with the kids Christmas dinner with the church DS will have a party at the library with his story hour group DD will probably have a party with her Brownie troop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Year's Eve - party with our friends. This one is my 3 girlfriends from high school, spouses and kids. We have a dinner and the kids exchange gifts. It's just about my favorite party!LOL Neither of our workplaces are having parties this year and dh wanted to skip going to his aunt's on Christmas Day. He said that for once he'd like to stay home and enjoy the family and play with the presents. I'm so grateful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
