I empathise- I have 2 halves of of family that can't be in the same county as each other, let alone the same house. Next year though, T and I have made the decision to go away ourselves for Christmas, because although we love our families, I spent this year drugged up to the nines trying to maintain my 'I'm not that ill' face, and T just wanted to sleep after working 16 days straight.

Oh the FUN! (By the way I was very popular on that occasion because I always carry tissues in my handbag, I went down the queue dispensing them to the women with much gratitude received) After the horrendous Christmas 2010, which had us staying at home, we have spent Christmas Day in our own way. It is so lovely when you don't feel you have to travel on the day itself. Christmas with kids is lovely but it doesn't have to be done on the day.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254578516714017969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-79354060159620086162012-12-29T05:11:48.264+00:002012-12-29T05:11:48.264+00:00Sounds perfect.

We would see his family in the morning, mine in the afternoon and have our dinner at home. We are happy to have guests but we will be at home. When Eva came along this made even more sense. <br />Christmas Eve = clean, change beds, baths all round and new Xmas pjs. Open one present.<br />Christmas Day = presents in bed, stockings and tree presents with a coffee, breakfast, visit bro in law and his family, home for a visit from my family and then dinner, pjs and snuggles.<br />This year, as you know, that all went tits up. And you just think, ah well - we're together. <br /><br />All the best for 2013 lovely xxmrs_sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872950092075500734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-14184571555634648912012-12-28T21:19:00.217+00:002012-12-28T21:19:00.217+00:00Sounds like a wonderful day - I am happy you had i...Sounds like a wonderful day - I am happy you had it just so! :) Merry Christmas! xxxThe Curious Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920550974303475865noreply@blogger.com
