We split every holiday so that we get to see every one. We'll go to my family's during the day, then DH's family at night
Our parents live two blocks apart! So dinner with his family and then dessert with mine WHICH turns into dinner at BOTH houses since my family is always so late LOL
The past two years we spent Thanksgiving with DH's brother and we will probably do that again this year, if not a friend's house. Christmas Eve is with DH's family and Christmas is with my family.

at work...![]()
My SIL's house, but the wonderful thing is, My family and DH's Family has gotten very close over the years. For the last two years or so, we have been spending most holidays all together. Therefore, both families will be together for Thanksgiving!
DH's parent's live in fla. My sister has a big thing for her husband's family (he is one of 8 kids) which is a large. She asks me to go to my mom's, so she is not alone. He food is so greasy that it kills me to eat it though, I have a bad stomach. DH wants to do thanksgiving alone this year. We may both work the day shift-till 3 pm, but we will be together. We have gone to one brother's before. It changes year to year. Christmas depends on the day I have my kids. I share it with my ex-when I have them, we get together with my family. The other day we get together with DH's brothers. We generally do New Year's with them too. I also have to work Christmas this year, which I am very upset about.
Well....we used to split it up..then it got exhausting. We pick one and thats it. This year we are having everyone over my place! Cant wait!!! My dh is cooking the turkey! Once we get a house we will have thanksgiving every year and invite both sides of the entire family for now its just immediate on both sides.

We are pretty fortunate because my family gets together on holidays around 1 and his family gets together around 3 or 4. We go to my family's house and eat, all courses and then go to his family's house and eat again lol
I don't think we'll host a holiday until there are kids in the picture and we turn into what our parents host...dinner for us, the granparents and aunts/uncles/cousins of our own children. If I wanted to invite the people who get together for his holidays AND mine, we'd have over 40 people over our house and that is just insanity!

its funny but im the opposite and from now on I am going to really push to do the holidays. I'd rather do it this way then travelling back and forth though so thats why. My mom always hosted so i guess i just got used to not having to travel so now i want to do that hahaha. Oh wait one time I did go elsewhere for thanksgiving and the traffic was a nightmare so maybe thats what sticks in my head haha.

I hear ya. With the exception of ONE Thanksgiving when we went to his aunt's house ALL the way out East, we are always at one of his family's house or mine, and we are all within minutes of one another. We can take back roads if we wanted to and get to a relatives house in like three minutes lol So for us it's not a mattter of traveling.
Well originally we were going to go by my mothers house but I am trying to convince Dh for us to drive down to NC and visit his parents. We normally split a holiday or for the past 2 years we have been going to NC in January (it's not the same).
