Who's coming to your home for Christmas?

**Sara Noel** · 12-04-2003, 11:12 PM

This year, it will be just the four of us. Quiet and simple holiday.

**homesteadmamma** · 12-04-2003, 11:16 PM

Just dh and the 3 little ones. Our oldest son has plans, dd I'm not sure where she is and our other son is in Kitimat.

Its just going to be a quiet and simple Christmas.

I think my dparents might join Dh and both dd's and myself here. We may stay in our jammies all day!

DD who is away at college is coming home the 15th, so is her roommate, they will be here nearly one month!

Just dh, ds,dd and sil, Our oldest can't make it home for christmas this year...That is the hard thing about him being military.

**Darlene** · 12-05-2003, 07:14 AM

Hopefully Santa!

Just the 4 of us too + dd's boyfriend (He practically lives here. I think he's missed only 7 dinners in the last year)
I like not leaving the house for Christmas.

Well if you mean for Christmas day specifically, I don't know. Usually we head to my Fil's or my dh's Nana's for a while, then race back home to entertain my parents who are in from out of town.

I'm not sure what the plan is this year because they are staying with my brother for the first time. Maybe we'll be racing back to his house for dinner since he plans to stay put that day. (I wish!)

As for Christmas Eve, we'll be having our annual party here, and I'll have about 15-20 people over that night.

I dunno yet. Usually all holidays have mandatory attendance at the in laws

, but they cancelled turkey day so maybe i will luck out and they will cancel Christmas too....
ok well I can dream about it can't I?????

**seadream** · 12-05-2003, 09:13 AM

It will just be dh, myself and my mom...We do the family thing on Christmas Eve day..it's so much easier that way as trying to get a hold of every one on x-mas day with the nieces & nephews going between their parents houses was really hard.

**simplemom** · 12-05-2003, 09:39 AM

Christmas eve is home with maybe some friends, Christmas day will be at my parent's for dinner with my sister and Francine.

**Heather** · 12-05-2003, 09:46 AM

Christmas Day we travel to my parents and stay for a couple of days. On the 21st we have DH's whole family here for turkey dinner.

**Guest1** · 12-05-2003, 09:53 AM

Just the 6 of us....then GW's folks get here on the 26th...say a prayer...!

**DawnM** · 12-05-2003, 11:20 AM

Our DS will be home from school for the holidays as well as his long-time girlfriend, and she'll be here for C'mas dinner. My Mom will be here from Canada. Then add DH, DD, and I and that makes 6. Then we'll all pile in the van on the 26th and drive up to Canada for a few days. I'm hoping for a snow-free drive next week to go and get my Mom and bring her here, and then again after C'mas for the next trip up to take her back ... don't think it's going to happen though.

**Missy** · 12-05-2003, 12:15 PM

we will have the four of us. Plus Dh's best friend, his wife, and their son. (They just moved up here from CA, and will be at our house fore awhile anyhow)

**guest2** · 12-05-2003, 01:25 PM

Christmas Eve will be spent with DH's side of the family at his parent's home and then Christmas day will just be us here at home!!!! Yippee! We can sleep in, lounge around in jammies, and open presents slowly. This is going to be such a nice change for the usual rush on Christmas morning to make a long and early drive to the inlaws house on icy roads. Last year we were all told to be there by 9 a.m.. We drove there (45 minute drive) and DH'd brother and his wife drove down (2 hur drive) only to find that their sister and her hubby (who live with MIL and FIL) were taking their sweet time getting ready and finally came upstairs 1 1/2 hours later to even greet us! I was livid and so were the rest of the adults. We could have all slept in a bit more and/or had more time with our won families at home. That is one of the many reasons we are staying home for Christmas this year!
