Have been invited to a relatives for Christmas. Would like to go and see family but kids would rather wake up in our house on Christmas day.
Dh and I agree that it could feel a bit flat to just have us and kids for the rest of the day though (we usually spend it with relatives)
So I have suggested that after early mornjng stocking opening, a bit of breakfast and a few bigger presents we could get in the car (ready packed) at about 10am with a couple of DVDs and hot chocolates and Hopefully be with relatives in time for lunch at about 1.
My thinking is that the roads will be quiet, kids can have a bit of downtime before an exciting couple of days and we get the best of both worlds of waking up at home but seeing family.
Concerns are that they won't get much time to actually play with new toys, I guess there could be unforeseen travel delays and it just seems a bit wrong to spend 3+ hours of christmas day in the car.
Any thoughts?
