Maybe one day you can go to one family's house and then go to the next family or you can do one from whatever time to whatever and then after that you can go to the next family from this time to whatever time.
My Husband and I had the same problem what we do is spend Christmas Eve day and night with one family and Christmas Day and night with the other family. We change Days every other year.
I have a similar problem. My parents live in town as do my wifes. Last Christmas we had 20 people over for Christmas at my house.
My wifes sister feels like that was to many people and even though with both families over, this year would only be 13 people, she has convinced my wife to move Christmas with my family (Mom, Dad, Brother, 2 kids) to the 26th.
So we are now arguing about why it is MY family that has to move to the 26th and not hers. I don't see a big deal between 8 people and 13. Am I being selfish? Or should I tell my sis-in-law that's my fam is coming Christmas day and if she doesn't like it, she can stay home.
This problem gets even more complex with less traditional and increasingly more common families. My wife has a son from a previous marriage, so he needs to see my wife's parents, my parent's and his bio-Dad's parents. We have always insisted and continue to insist that he wake up Christmas morning in our house. It's a hassle every year and somehow we always work it out. This year it's my parents on Christmas Eve, my wife's parents are coming to our house on Christmas Day. Our son went to a family party with his Dad a week ago and will spend New Year's with him.
A friend of mine does it in an interesting way I'd like to try. Alternate Thanksgiving and Chirstmas with each family each yesr. So year one, it's Thanksgiving with my parents and Christmas with hers. The next year, you switch it up.
My friend spends Christmas with one family on Christmas day and the other boxing day.
Christmas is the time when families get together Families are sublime in fair or stormy weather
On Christmas eve or Christmas Day. Whatever is your families tradition
families mostly celebrate Christmas in their homes
Seems like a good idea. Christmas supports families and brings families together. Strong families are important to communities.
Yes, most families try to get together during the Christmas holidays.
I Think that Christmas is fair because Christmas is all about celebrating Jesus birth and spending 48hours with your loved ones, family and friends.
In many families in the United States, it is traditional to celebrate both Christmas Eve night as well as Christmas Day. So in a way, Christmas is celebrated for 2 days, even though Christmas itself is really only one day.
