Christmas Day at home or with family?

What would your pros and cons be?

I love Christmas at home because there’s no travel, we can eat what we want when we want it and I can always have some quiet time to myself for a bit if I need to.

Christmas with family has a bit more joy, a bit more conflict, I don’t always enjoy the food and it’s often served too early or late so the kids are grumpy or tired. We always end up watching what my dad wants on the tv, or playing a weird board game my brother brought!

What about you? And do you alternate to get the best of both worlds?

@GiraffesAtThePark I have done my own Christmas dinner on New Year’s Day before, it is nice and a bit more leisurely without all the gift unwrapping, but it just doesn’t feel quite the same. I think I might do brunch on NYD instead
