We're hosting both sets of parents so 9 in total. Boxing day at BILs there will be 16 of us.

DisforDarkChocolate · 10/12/2023 08:11

Four and at home. No idea what we're doing the rest of Christmas but we'll be visiting people.

Mrsjayy · 10/12/2023 08:13

I'm hosting and there will be 8 of us including me, dp and ds.

I don't think I could handle any more 😂

MissyB1 · 10/12/2023 08:15

We will start Christmas Day with 4 of us but adult ds will leave at midday to go to stay with some mates. Then it will be just 3 of us, just 3 on Boxing Day too.

juicelooseabootthishoose · 10/12/2023 08:15

Nicely busy and social lead up. The afternoon and evening of xmas day itself just two-which is actually heaven. Back with loads of extended family again boxing day.

MilkChocolateCookie · 10/12/2023 08:15

We're hosting and there will be 13. Four from the older generation (over 80), four middle aged adults, five teenagers.

Baldieheid · 10/12/2023 08:16

Just the 2 of us, and the cats. First time at home through choice (2020 we had no choice) in over a decade and I am relishing not travelling.

margotrose · 10/12/2023 08:16

Just DH and I.

We see parents and relatives around Christmas, not on the day itself.

RabbitsRock · 10/12/2023 08:16

Just me & DH for the first time which will be strange but nice. Seeing my folks on Boxing Day when DD14 will be back from her girlfriends’.

SoftandQuiet · 10/12/2023 08:16

7 at our house, 2 adult children and partners plus my Dad.

Crunchymum · 10/12/2023 08:18

9 plus us 5 so 14.

We're being hosted by my sibling (and this isn't all my side of the family!) for Christmas dinner.

Big Xmas eve meal at inlaws planned and that will be 18 of us (4 on holiday)

Boxing day will be at home just us 5 and the cats.

Tisfortired · 10/12/2023 08:19

We’ll be seeing DPs family for presents/a brew at around 9am and we’ll stay a couple of hours. There’ll be 8 of us there. Then come home, relax for a couple of hours, get changed and go to my mums for dinner, there’ll be 9 of us there.

I really wanted just a quiet Christmas us 4 this year but I was outvoted 🙄

dizzygirl1 · 10/12/2023 08:20

Christmas day will be me and 2 dc until 4pm then they'll go to their dad's until day after boxing day or so. Then it's just me.
No visiting of family lined up or meet up with any friends.

anybloodyname · 10/12/2023 08:22

I'll be spending mine with 1,200 imprisoned men

FiveShelties · 10/12/2023 08:23

There will be me, my husband and our dog - we love having Christmas Day like this. We have bacon and eggs for breakfast, then walk along the beach in the sunshine, then home for a very lazy afternoon/evening with the BBQ and wine.

Would not have it any other way.

Enjoy😀

Ladyof2022 · 10/12/2023 08:24

One. A friend who is visiting. I would hate a crowd.

Dowhadiddydiddydum · 10/12/2023 08:24

Just 4 - us and the kids. I don’t invite any other family over on Xmas day because we don’t have easy relationships so I keep Xmas day just for us. Boxing Day we have my parents over for Turkey curry!

Dollmeup · 10/12/2023 08:24

14, we are going to my inlaws and they love hosting a big crowd. I love not having to cook so it's a win for me.

yes it's the first time for us too will be strange but I think it will be fine.

mamaduckbone · 10/12/2023 08:25

7 at home on Christmas Day (my Pil and dm) potentially 19 at my Dbro's on Boxing Day.

Nannyfannybanny · 10/12/2023 08:26

Just one,DH,at home. For years he wanted this, but we have the most room, so normally it would be 2 or 3 of my DKs,and 2 or 3 DGKs.

shellyleppard · 10/12/2023 08:26

Myself, two teenage sons, my dad and the boys dad (my ex of ten years) 😂😂 we still spend every important occasion together. And he does all the washing up on Christmas day lol

Desecratedcoconut · 10/12/2023 08:26

We'll have nine people here. Thankfully dh does most of the cooking 😅
