That would be fine..as long as it's Christmas Eve. Christmas day I'm busy...LOL!
I have a big house with 3 guest rooms and I go absolutely crazy at Christmas. I can help anyone get in the Christmas spirit!
Go here to see my house decorated for Christmas...

We normally just have Christmas dinner here at home... DH , me, and my 5 kids. My stepson who is 19 has been going to his inlaws. WELLLL things have changed this year LOL. My stepdaughter, her 3 kids and fiancee moved back from Texas. DH's ex wife is now living with stepdaughter. We have just now become friends. Sooo.. I am going to my MIL ( who lives with BIL). She has to work , so hubbys ex and I are going over there to cook dinner and hope to have it done by 1 so MIL can eat. All I asked MIL to do is make banana pudding ( homemade not a pudding mix) and ex wife and I will take care of the rest. So it will 7 kids of mine and DH, stepson, his wife and 2 kids, stepdaughter, her 3, her b/f, 2 brothers in law and my MIL. whewwww. tired just thinking about it. As for gifts, I will buy first for the kids I have at home. Anything left over will go to grandkids. If I can't buy for ALL the grandbabies, then none will get anything. This has been explained to the grown kids, and they understand.
If ya ain't careful, this flea will bite your arse!

Ya know, when we moved down here to Charlotte I really missed being home for the holidays. Now, I don't miss it at all. Just me, dh, and the kids and maybe a few strays we invite along the way. No running around, no pressure, no worrying if everything is just so. i have gotten so used to it now, I love it. good luck to all those dealing w/family issues this time of year.

Aggie's in hiding until after New Years and that's normal for him. I've bought for the nieces and nephews and my aunt and Aggie. That's it. We'll have dinner here. Aggie can eat if he wants I won't complain. He's not big on family gatherings or the presents, putting up the tree, being Santa.
House will be decorated the holidays but I'm not sure how much this year. Aggie's dad died Thanksgiving last year and my mother died 3 years ago right after Thanksgiving. Everything's been pretty low key the past few years. Other than that I like the holidays. I'm also glad when they're over.
Hopefully I will get this all done this year. I'm leaving for New York in 2 weeks and will be gone until the middle of December. I know Aggie won't do anything "Christmas" while I'm gone.

My family has always been very understanding about families and holidays. Mom's side of the family tries to have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners on the Saturday after the holiday. That way, everyone is free to go to the other side of the family on the actual holiday. My dad is an only child, and my grandparents lived next door to my parents, so we had dinner (usually lunch) with those grandparents on the actual day. My (paternal) grandfather's family has a "Christmas" dinner the first weekend in December.
When I was married, we would try very hard to make it to his family's dinners... only problem was, they would tell us one time, so we would plan my family around it, and they would eat earlier. One year, we were going to Thanksgiving with them - they told us dinner at 5pm, so my mother had lunch right at noon. We called his mother around 3:30 to tell her we were headed that direction (it was an hour drive) and she informed us that they had ate at 2pm instead. It wasn't our fault we rarely made it, but we rarely did. Now, I don't have to worry about that - and it's definitely something I'm thankful for lol

For Christmas we usually do Eve with Dh's family and Day with my family. I may end up having Eve cause the house where we usually have it, had their furnace blow up while they were gone traveling and I guess its just a mess and they dont think they will have everything cleaned in time. Thanksgiving is with my family this year just because they asked and Dh's family didn't...but Dh's mom is always the one to wait until a few days b4 and then say "Have any plans for turkey day?" uh yeah and then she gets mad...oh well she will learn to ask earlier eventually.

I know Aggie usually doesn't do anything, but did he get a hint from last year to at least think about you for the holidays??? You swore you were going to forget him one year...LOL!

I like the holidays, but I don't like decorating to much of a pain in the rear for me. We usually put up a tree and maybe a few things to set around but that is it for decorating. We don't have a large family, I usually buy for my grown kids, hubby, granddaughter and I send money anymore to my great nieces and nephews. We open Christmas gifts on Christmas morning then I cook dinner.
