[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 109995, member: 439"] wit - if you lived closer, I'd invite you to our house for Christmas. We're having a ham, and one or two additional people wouldn't matter at all! I always make dinner on Christmas. I started this after NF's first Christmas and we drove all over, listening to a screaming 10 month old most of the time. I figured that no matter what I did, it wouldn't please my mother, so why bother trying. I was going to do what I wanted to do and what was best for my family. Everyone knows I cook on Christmas, and they are invited to come whenever. Some years, I've had just us. Other times, I've had as many as 12 show up. But it takes all the "stress" off of us of having to do what is "expected". I buy a big ham - which freezes well if we have a lot of leftovers. I make sides that also will heat up again if we don't eat them all at the one sitting. What I'm saying is do what YOU want to do, and the heck with anyone else! Make your own traditions - make your "family" full of people that appreciate you. And I'll save a slice of ham for you!! [/QUOTE]
