I'm beginning to dread Christmas... I love having family to stay for a day or two, and I think it's really important for DS/DD to have their grandparents here at Christmas, and for us to make sure that they have a good close relationship with them. We are pretty much the only family that PIL have & they live a long way away. They come to stay about once every 6 - 8 weeks, for long weekends, and we visit them when we can. We've been on holiday with them in the summer, and we alternate between our house and theirs for Christmas.
This year it's Our Turn To Do Christmas, & we're approaching the point where we negotiate the timings of the Christmas Visit. I have a feeling it's going to be a tricky one. DD's birthday is before Xmas, so they will want to be here for that, then they won't want to travel home until after boxing day... I think I will be screaming tearing my hair out a bit stressed by the time they leave.... DH is usually clenching his fists after 24 hours
