My Mum is an amazing host, always has been. But.. I'd quite like to host Christmas Day now I have a husband and DC of my own. She is on her own now and it's quite a lot for her. She's completely capable but also slightly old fashioned so it's just always quite a formal strange day where it could be much more relaxed and fun at our house.
Does anyone have any experience of this? I would hate to patronize her, so saying it'll make life easier for her isn't really an option.
