[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 216935, member: 439"] I have little immediate family left - only my mom. So the big huge family get togethers no longer exist, until and if my kids start them. And we currently have no little ones around, so that whole "wonder" thing just isn't that important. We've only had husband's daughters with us one year for Christmas (they live across the country). I decided when my son was 10 months old that I would do Christmas. I make a big meal. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and join in, but other than mass (and usually we go to midnight mass) WE do NOT leave the house. I've had 15 people and I've had 3 show up - doesn't matter to me. My son in the Navy has volunteered to do duty every Christmas he's been in. He feels that since he doesn't have kids, he'd rather let those that do be off. That means he can't be "home" for the holiday, so I gave him his Christmas presents yesterday. husband and I don't do "big" Christmas. We get each other things during the year as we think or see them. We just find some little, but thoughtful things for each other for Christmas morning. We decorate, but it's only things WE like and want to put up. [/QUOTE]
