What are you doing for Christmas

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Staying at home? Going to a relative's ...friend's? Do you celebrate Christmas in the morning or evening? Planning a big feast?

We are having our family at our house this year! Our first holiday thing at our house. We have about 11 people coming over, not just family actually. They'll come over around 2pm, we'll eat tons of Italian and other food and desserts, and then hang out for a few hours. It's usually fun! On Christmas Eve we always go to a friend of the family's for finger foods and desserts. (after going to an evening candlelight svc, usually).

Polish tradition is actually more celebrated on Christmas Eve with a big family dinner, this year it's at my moms house. We start dinner when the first star on the sky appears in the evening. Before the dinner we break a wafer and wish each other good things for the upcoming new year. The Christmas Eve dinner is vegetarian, we don't eat meat until after midnight when Christ is born. After dinner we open presents!

This year is extra special, because I'll have my husband with me! Not only that, but my parents are divorced and haven't been on speaking terms for about 20some yrs. This year they have agreed to have dinner together as one big happy family. God does miracles!

Christmas Eve my husband and I are having my parents over for dinner. Then on Christmas morning we are going over to their house for breakfast and champagne and to open presents. Then off to my grandmothers house to sit with about 20 other people in a tiny little living room. I am sure we will eat. I'd love to skip this part this year but it is a must.

Christmas night my husband and I are going to watch a movie and relax on the sofa.

We normally go to a Christmas Eve service but we are skipping it this year.

That's it? No dinner with family? Friends?

Friday night we're going to a friend's Christmas party and I'm sure she'll have finger food and poker or something. Saturday I have Christmas at my mom's house with my stepdad's family. We exchange presents and eat finger food. Sunday evening we have Christmas with my mom's family. There is 26 of us! This year we decided we would not have a big meal like we normally do and just have soup and finger food and lots of desserts. Monday we have Christmas with my mom's extended family. They all get together on Christmas Eve for my great grandmother. There is about 100 people. Then we always go out to eat on Christmas Eve but since my mom works this year I'm not sure if Neil & I will just go with my sister or not. Christmas morning we cook a massive breakfast, make a fire, and open presents. We then rent lots of movies or go see a movie. In the evening I go around to see my younger cousins so they can show me what they got for Christmas. We have a busy few days ahead of us!

We've been invited to distance relative of Jinky's who lives in Garden Grove on Christmas Eve. We'll probably eat something easy to prepare on Christmas day and just relax....I'd even consider frozen pizza...lol...but I might try to find some homemade tamales.

Go 'home' to Ohio for Xmas with the family. Fly out Sat night - get in Sun morning at 8AM. Brunch on Sunday with my aunt & cousin who are in town, my sis gets in monday. We have dinners booked all week long with friends & other peeps in town for the holidays!

Xmas Eve is drinking & seafood & Italian food (& more drinking) with our good friends & my family (11 of us). Xmas morning is pressies & (maybe) church & brunch. Xmas dinner is at the friend's house with some yummy beef tenderloin.

Sounds awesome, Dev. Enjoy your time there!

Is that some kind of brew?

Sounds like a nice way to spend Christmas evening after all the hoopla. Do you have a fireplace? Throw a log on the fire.

Sounds delicious. I'm sure that baby will enjoy the yummy foods.

BTW...I think we've settled on a name...Joshua (no more Ozzy)

Yes, I'm thinking that's what Joyce would recommend...to work your stomach up to the full on. Don't forget the Cool Whip.
