Dc2 has his birthday on Xmas eve, this is the first one.
We have all the grandparents coming to celebrate Christmas with us, DSis and some friends are coming up for some birthday cake the afternoon of Xmas eve.
I've said I don't want anything Christmas on Xmas eve - that we should keep it just for ds2's birthday - this will be every year until little one is old enough to decide himself how he wants to tackle it.
DH is European so he has the biggest sacrifice since he is used to celebrating Christmas on the 24th and he is on board with the plan.
We have made exceptions that the kids can leave their food and drink for santa and that after they are in bed we can maintain some of the European traditions amongst the adults.
Everyone was initially supportive but then we started with ' oh well can we just... and bit it's only..'
The straw was when I asked if we can do some Xmas present exchanges with those who won't be there Xmas day and I said we can exchange but not open as the day is reserved for dc2's birthday - at least in our home.
dm and dsis have got stroppy about it now and said it's unreasonable to expect to keep the day just as a birthday.
Aibu??
