What are your Christmas plans?

[curiousgeorgie]

We always go for dinner on Christmas Eve with about 30 friends and relatives as it is DH's birthday... feels really festive and exciting!

Then for the next three days go to my mums.. Where relatives drop in for various meals, games and presents :)

What do you all do?

(Is it wrong to feel this Christmassy in August? )

It is never wrong to feel Christmassy

Don't know - need to combine Christmas day with XH, visiting various family around the country, and XH seeing his family with the DC plus me marking lots of accountancy exam papers. Plus seeing my bf as well. Am not going to think about it for a while

Normally about 20 of us go to my DMs and it is amazing but this year most of the family are going abroad for Christmas but we can't afford to go

So we might go to BILS house but it is four hours away and I might have to work some of the xmas period and if I do it is probably easier if we just stay at home the four of us which will be nice as well. But I don't like having the plans up in the air. I love Christmas now I am an adult and have my own family.

We have just moved into our new house so family are coming here. I am so looking forward to it, there should be 8 maybe 9. It will also be our first Christmas we'll spend at home since our dcs were born.

curious milk is right, ou can never be too Christmassy. I've been making plans sice May!

As FIL has booked the hotel near us to arrive on Boxing Day for 3 days (to go to the races and see us, and be here for DD's birthday), that means the decision was taken (luckily it's the result I wanted) that we are staying here for Christmas this year. (PIL and my parents live 15 miles apart, 160 miles from here). So we'll have a lovely day visiting relatives who live near us but are further out the tree, cooking our own roast turkey dinner for the evening, and then entertaining whoever turns up from both of our families over the following few days. If we're REALLY lucky, the au pair will go home for the holidays too, and we will be just 3 for at least a couple of days!! (We like all our au pairs, but some time just as our own family is really valuable to us it's so rare).
