Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

We are still unsure about Christmas Eve, I think we are having the typical Italian fish/seafood dinner at my mom's.

Christmas Day we are having 12 people over, we are hosting dinner.

Anyone else have set plans yet and if so are you happy with them?

Christmas eve,we will be together doing last minute things.

Christmas day will be split amongst both families. This is how it has been for over 10 years so we are happy with it and used to it.

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

Christmas Eve is a quiet night at home with just us.

Christmas Day is the madhouse where everyone we know is invited (but this year will be just his family and my dad since all my best friend is getting married and is now spending christmas with future family in law).

I hated going to their house for the holidays so we decided to host ourselves.

Since we did Thanksgiving at my parents, Christmas Day will be at DH's parents house in SI. We are going to try and stop by my family's house on the way home for dessert.

Christmas Eve - we will probably spend alone - maybe go out to dinner.

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

December 19th will be our Christmas in Corpus Christi. We will go out for a romantic dinner on the water then exhange our gifts.
Then the 20th we fly from Corpus to Philly
We stay in Philly until the afternoon the 23 then we will drive up to Long Island.
On the 24th we will either go to mass at St. Kilian's or go to it at St. Bernards (since our priest is their now) then go out to eat and come home and open gifts with my parents.
Then at midnight we head back to Philly and normally arrive at my inlaws (my MIL is still wrapping gifts at this point) we share a drink or two. I normall travel in my PJ's (My FIL gets a kick out of it every year.. he secretly hopes I get pulled over!)
We stay up with them till about 4am then we go to bed then about 6am on Christmas Day my youngest BIL wakes us up, we open gifts and head to my inlaws church for 11 mass.
Then the rest of the week we stay in Philly with maybe heading to the poconos to go to their mtn home and then on the 28th we fly back into Corpus!

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

Christmas Eve has always been bigger than Christmas day in my family.

We always spend Christmas eve with my side of the family (dad). We do it up big (Italians) with the 5 courses, fish all that fun stuff and like 40 people.

Christmas day I have at our house with DHs mom (and usually my mom but she'll be in Cali with my brother this year) and whoever else wants to come.

I love Christmas

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

Christmas Eve is at Gary's sister's house where we exchange presents with all of his family.

Christmas is with my family at my mom's (our) house. Christmas morning is always just Gary and I exchanging presents (love that!) and then we exchange with my parents and brother and his girlfriend.

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

He's working both days

Christmas eve I'll probably be home or I'll go by my best friends/MOH.

Christmas day we'll exchange our gifts then we'll go by my parents, but my mom is working that morning so we'll do gifts with my dad and have brunch. Then he'll go to work and dad will get mom and the 3 of us will have a nice christmas dinner.

Re: Where are you spending Christmas Eve? Christmas day?

My DH is working both days also! Christmas eve is always at my aunt's house with my parents, sister, cousins. DH won't be there but will drive out to LI from the city Christmas morning. Christmas day always at my mom's - same people but also including my in-laws and my DH until he leaves for work. My sister's boyfriend will also be there this year for the first time- they live in CA so it will be nice to have them home for the week.
