Anyone else finding Christmas with a baby really hard?

DD1 is 2, DD2 is 5 months. Suddenly stopped sleeping as soon as we arrived at the grandparents, not in the day not overnight. Very out of character. It would stress me out anyway but finding it so hard dealing with this with family all around throwing in their two cents, not having any sympathy. Exhausted and spending so much of the day / evening trying to get the little one sleeping . Anyone in the same boat? Trying to tell myself that next Christmas will be easier

Have a relaxing Christmas at home on your own with just you DH and kids that's what we do every year.

Definitely stay at home, but I fear your optimism that next year will be easier, is not realistic. Next year, your 3yo will be getting much more over excited at Christmas, and your now baby will be a toddler (and probably/possibly) still not sleeping well.

Christmas with children is amazing, but it's also exhausting whether home or away.

We stayed home for the first time in ages and it was easier if a little more boring.
