We will be spending Christmas Eve with my fiance's dads side of the family, then when we get home i'll start preparing the house and food for Christmas Day.
Christmas morning will be spent unwrapping presents with the children and putting toys together with them.
Christmas evening is spent at the fiance's mum's house where all of that side of the family gathers for a big feast and exchanging of gifts, then we drive home and put the kids to bed before crashing out ourselves.
Boxing Day (26th) is usually spent at my mum and dad's house having lunch and just relaxing and spending time together.
However you spend your Christmas, may it be filled with lots of love, laughs and good health.

That sounds like so much fun nichole!!! That sounds like a great adventure holiday, though it sounds like you'll need a holiday from your holiday when you return home!
Here in Australia we always have hot summers and where I live doesn't snow in the winter either - it would be amazing to have or even see a real white Christmas.

Well, lets see. This coming Sunday is a christmas dinner at the nursing home my husbands great grandmother is in. This is her 106th Christmas! Then on the 23 of December we go to his grandfathers for Christmas dinner. Then Christmas eve dinner is at our house with my parents, sister's family, and my dads brother and family. Then Christmas day we'll open presents in the morning and then go to my grandmothers for a light lunch. She's 75 and having a hard time getting around as much as it takes to cook a full meal. Then after we eat there we'll go down to my husbands great aunts to visit with family and open presents there. Then we'll go back home and rest till new years lol.

wow ravinskye - it looks like you have a VERY busy Christmas period ahead of you.
As busy and as stressful as Christmas can be, it's lovely to catch up with family and friends during the holiday season,, Sometimes it's the one time in the year you can catch up with them.
Congratulations on your husband's great grandmother reaching such a wonderful age. 106 is something to be very proud of.

We ususally fly home to be with out parents. but this yaer we do not have the money and no one offered to pay our flight! Also i dont think I can fly because i'm 6 months preg, so we are just staying home and having a small christmas with our little family. It will be the first time since our daughter was born that we just stayed home and relaxed during the time off we have for xmas.

Right now, I really do not know how to celebrate my christmas. I am not even sure if I will be spending it with my brothers in the province or I will just stay in the city.

Now I really don't know. We were suppose to go to Kansas but now due to issues with our bringing our dog it looks like we are not. My parents are in the middle of building their house and so they dont' know if it will be finished in time for Christmas so I dont' know if we are going there. It's just a mess this year. I think I'll just sleep in and have a nice quite christmas at home. I have a turkey and a tree and my husband so that's good enough for me.

It's going to be a quiet Christmas for me this year. I'm having dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins at their house. It'll be a nice change of pace for me, someone who is used to very loud, very crowded holiday get-togethers.

By taking my whole family to Disney World since I work there and get them in for free. I have no money for the holiday other wise. But as I said in another post.. money isnt everything. As Long as I have my family I can be happy.
