Do you stay home or go elsewhere?

We stay put!

    We usually go to the movies as a family since we open presents on Christmas Eve :)

    We do a bit of both.

    First we have a special brunch, just the 4 of us (my parents, my brother and I).
    Then we head out for Christmas lunch at my aunt's place.
    Then the designated driver takes us home where we loll about at home and eat nothing for dinner because we've already stuffed ourselves at brunch and lunch.

    We host. It's more relaxing to me to be home all day. :) All our family is local, so nobody has to travel too far. We have a big house and we like to have people over. People feel comfortable at our place because we are so easy going. Nothing gets under our skin. :) Merry Christmas everyone!

    We used to go to my sister's in DFW area, but once we had kids it is much easier to stay home.

    Christmas Eve we have my brother and his wife and kids over for dinner, and then Christmas Day we all head over to Dad's to spend the afternoon and have dinner there. Fave day of the year. :)

    Volunteering at Crisis, a homeless charity in London. They set up centres and we help them get something to eat, a bed for a couple of nights. There are hairdressers, choropodists and stuff. It's nice.

    When they leave, they get blankets and tinned and dry food.

    Beats sitting at home doing nothing, for sure.

    Lots of driving back and forth! I'm a newly wed and we're still trying to work out how to do both family's traditions while starting some of our own....Christmas will be; my parents, his parents, my aunts, his uncles. Whew!

    I have a big family and we all go to my parents house :smile:
    But they are only 15-20 min from me, so it's a short drive. I will be there Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day. And probably the day after Christmas too, because my niece and nephew will be there and they are 3 and 1.5 yrs old and the cutest tiny people ever... haha :heart: Can't wait to hug them!
