Is anyone else hsvinya second Christmas with parents / inlaws?

We had the PIL over for Xmas, and as they live many hours drive away they stayed for 3-4 days. My mum stayed at home with my brother and her sister. Now it's my DMs turn to share Christmas with our young kids, so she is over and we have had a second Christmas! Presents under the tree, full roast dinner with crackers etc. It's great!

Does anyone else do this? It's always difficult when you have to choose one side of the family to spend actual Christmas day with. Especially when they want to give present to the DC and see their excited faces.

Title should say "having" obv.

Well you have to eat lunch/dinner anyway, so why not make it a full roast with crackers!

We used to do this all the time when we were travelling between families (our families are over 200 miles apart). We also did it for DDs birthdays - she used to have one at home (with her friends) and then a family tea party at each GPs home.

We’ve done Fakemas a number of times as well, when illness or absence meant we couldn’t do it in the Xmas holidays. We’ve had Fakemas in November and February a couple of times!

Sounds lovely. We are at the in-laws and had roast lamb with crackers for lunch today.
