Well its Jacks dads turn to have Jack for christmas eve and christmas day this year (he is 10) so christmas eve will just be me and o/h , hoping Jack will be brought back christmas day morning other wise he misses out on a day at my mum and dads and christmas dinner (his dad lives alone, and most likely wont see any family, so no atmosphere and probably no xmas dinner). Christmas day and boxing day we are spending at my mum and dads, I look forward to it every year. After those days we probably wont be up to anything much just staying at home.New yeas eve we will have a little party indoors with food and drink

We are going out for christmas lunch!
we hate being put on the spot by both families to go so we decided it would be nice to go out and offend both sides

i think we see one set of parents christmas eve and the other on boxing day

Terri, did OH say anything about them selling the bar???

i efuse to go anywhere on christmas day do this year we have marc's mum, dad and son coming for lunch and the afternoon, Boxing day we are going to my mums then next year my mum and dad will stay christmas eve through til boxing day morning x

Jo, nope they havnt said any thing more about it and he hasnt asked He said he will talk to his Mam when were up there but he always says that!

me lilly and oh are staying at my mums xmas eve so we can enjoy xmas morning all together (they live 20 miles away) then go home xmas day eve and off to my dads on boxing day as all of my dads side of family come to his which is nice as we are so spread out that we only see everyone once a year!!

This year on Xmas day it's jut me, oh and Charlie, were gonna have a lovely chilled day cook a nice dinner and just enjoy the peace!
Boxing day is probably our real Xmas day, we have all three boys and are going out to lunch with oh's family.
I'll see my dad and sisters Xmas day for a while as well but not sure when!
My mum may be down from Scotland as well so she may be joining us.

we're at home in the morning with the usual visits from family on the present run, we're going to my mums for lunch and on the evening, we get to spend time on our own for the first time ever!

we will be spending the morning opening presents in the house until about 10.30 then we will go to my mam and see her and my family. at around 1 we will be going to gavs dads house to spend xmas day with his as its the first christmas since his mam died. we will prob spend most of the day there.

boxing day we will be going to my aunties for tea

i love xmas day but i hate the feeling like being pulled fom all sides !
we will be staying home this year prezzies in the morning have our dinner then late afternoon my 2 older kids will be off t their grans for a couple of nights and see their dad/aunt etc

We are here this Christmas so planning on having a jammies and duvet day. Full English breakfast (but with soda bread instead of fried) then when we've eaten that and I've got the veggies ready we are going to sit round and open prezzies and chill (and I'll be on the mulled cider) Boxing day we're staying in so the kids can play with their new toys. Seeing family just before or just after Christmas.

The past 2 Christmases I've not had a drink as I've been pregnant and we'll be lighting candles for our Angel babies who are not here with us to enjoy the festivities.

Our 1st Christmas as the family of 4 we thought we'd never have.

I've got a bottle of Moet and Chandon Champers to crack open on New Years Eve xxxxxxxxx

I'm having my mum round to mine for christmas dinner and we'll all go to hers for boxing day.

Its the first Christmas in 26 years that my mum hasn't cooked it (well apart from a couple of times we all went out for dinner)

she can't wait!

We are going to spend the morning with the girls opening pressies, listening to Christmas songs and having breakfast.

Then we are going to put Aimee down for her nap at 11.45 am and tell everybody (my dad, stepmum, my MIL, FIL, OH's nan) to come anytime after 12 o'clock.

I am doing a big xmas dinner at about 2ish for when Aimee has woken up. More present opening when she wakes up and has had dinner.

Then my mum and step dad are coming over at about 4ish - they were coming for dinner too, but my grandparents want to go to her house so they are having dinner there instead.

Boxing Day - not sure yet, my in laws are doing another Xmas day for James's brother, sister and their partners, and we are invited there, so may go along to their house x

It's a busy one for me this year, which I find weird because in my family weve always stayed at home and we visit people on boxing day.

Weve got to open presents, have breakfast , go up the cemetery, visit mil, sil, fil all before oh goes to work at 11

Then hes home at3 for dinner and more prssies then the rest of the day will be at his nans, home for the soaps though

im working nights on xmas eve so will get home around 9am xmas day, kids will be up and prob have had brekkie so when i get home we will open pressies, then go to my mums until about 12, bring home some of the pressies from ym mums and im hoping i can have an hours kip! then we are going to oh's mum to open pressies and will be having lunch there about 3pm, we will more then likely stay there til late cos oh's bro and family will come round and have more ppressies to open and if the kids behave we might even sleep there cos we like our wine! lol
Boxing day is oh's grandads birthsay so we will pop round or maybe all go out for a meal, not sure yet!

We're having our own family Christmas as we have at least the past few years - love it

No intention of travelling over the holidays so we are going to visit some family this weekend and drop off presents too, then we'll maybe have my parents over to us between Christmas & New Year - or maybe in the New Year itself. Love hubby having time of work and being able to spend time as a family, it seems the weeks are spent living for the weekend which then go too fast! Plus, I have the perfect excuse not to be venturing out

The last time we tried doing the whole visiting thing it was such a pain in the backside and no way to spend Christmas day - stuck in the car and getting stuffed with food (which you'd think was a good thing, but no...!) with no time to ourselves. So spreading it out and making us priority is no.1! Can't wait to see what bean makes of it all this year! Christmas dinner on the go, music in the background, presents, stockings, cursing the manufacturers of children's toy packaging and ooo a mince pie might feature in there too... then maybe a Christmassey walk but if we're too cosy that can wait until boxing day xx

me and my OH usually split up on Christmas Day but I wanted us to pick one family this year since we're a family. unfortunately my OH is working christmas eve and day nightshifts so he'll be sleeping during the day on christmas so i'm staying over at my mummy's on christmas eve cos she's looking after Arwyn while i go out with the girls and we'll wake up there christmas day will have to go visit OH's family too though at some point.
so me and Arwyn won't see Daddy on christmas day at all!

I'm going to Matt's family Christmas Day and mine Boxing day, but in all honesty would much rather have it at home instead, we've told our families next year that we're staying at home, they just expect us to go so have given them lots of notice

We are spending christmas morning at home opening pressies listening to christmas songs and have breaky then were all going to my step sisters for christmas lunch and will spend the afternoon there aswell.
I think ohs family are all coming upto us for boxin day tho xx

We are having Christmas just here at home and a Christmas Lunch for two (well three hehe as im sure that little bou will enjoy it).

Matt is on call Christmas Day so he may/may not have to go into work.

We will be going to visit our families next weekend to take pressies etc up and then we will be visiting my Dad in between Christmas and New Year. xx
