I'm already getting het up about Christmas.... basically I've got DH and 2 DCs. 2 sets of parents... the way we've set it up is that one set of parents come on Christmas Day and stays overnight. The second set comes Boxing Day but can stay 2 nights if they want. Christmas Eve is kept as family time as we go to church / have a meal out/ do the box with DVD /pyjamas in.
Both sets of parents live over an hour away.
I'm stressing because I'm pretty sure my mum will kick off at only getting to stay Christmas Day, even though this is exactly what DH's DPs did last year. The year before that we had asked them to come 24-26th but ONLY because I was due my baby on 18th Dec and we thought he might be late and we needed baby cover. My mum still kicked off that year and said it "wasn't worth the bother of coming for only 2 nights" to which my DH replied "fine don't come then".
