We got together just before Christmas last year so this is our first Christmas properly as a couple. He's been excited about this and we've lots ofsoppy romantic things planned over the holidays.
On the day, I'm going to my DPs with adult DC and he's going to his brother's with his parents.
He told me yesterday that I had been invited but he told them I'd be with my family. My parents did invite him too, but by then he'd already told me he was going to DB.
So we never had any discussion about which family to go to etc, he said all along he'd come here in the evening and he'll stay here Christmas Eve (today) so we wake up together.
Maybe I should be annoyed, but he's managed to sort things so everyone's happy without any conflict or anyone feeling pulled in different directions. My DS is cooking for the four of us (me and 2 adult DC) tonight, me and DP will go to midnight mass and we'll go to parkrun together in the morning, then go our seperate ways until the evening.
It all sounds lovely to me and I didn't have to plan anything!
