[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 393381, member: 6705"] Wow... And I thought my life was nuts around Christmas... When I was a kid, one year we'd go to Mom's parents for Christmas, the next they'd come to our house. (Dad's parents lived too far away.) On Christmas Eve. We'd get up, open a few gifts, eat, finish opening. One present per person, then open, then next round. I loved being the "Elf" that delivered presents... When I moved out, I'd go to my parents' on Christmas Eve. Lots of times we'd invite friends, then we'd go look at lights. And I'd spend the night there. Married XH, and would sleep at home then go to parents' for Christmas. Until 2000. I was in OK with him, they were in NM with Mom's parents. Not a good memory. Next Christmas, they went to Dad's parents and I spent the day with BFF and his now XW; at his grandma's then his Dad's. NEXT Christmas, Mom, Dad and I went to NM. And the next was at mother in law's. And then in 2004, Grandma passed away on the 21st and husband (then boyfriend) tried to break his neck making sure Dad and I could get to NM to be with Mom. Now, it's based on the kids. If it's our year, we have Mom and Dad over early on Christmas Day. If it's BM's year, we get to start on Dec. 26 at noon - so we do our house. (Except last year, for some odd reason, when we were at Mom and Dad's...) This year, Onyxx, husband and I will go to Mom & Dad's on the 25th and just enjoy each other. And then the 26th, they'll come to our house for loot-opening. Last year, I had a few people over on Christmas Eve, then we went to late church services. This year, I'm doing that on the 11th. So I can RELAX closer to the holiday. mother in law wants us to come over. Nope. She can come to my house - or not. Up to her. I [B][I]***refuse***[/I][/B] to drag the family here, there and everywhere. [/QUOTE]
