How many holiday gathering do you have this year?


CantWait wrote: Just wondering where you head to for the holidays, how many gatherings/ parties do you have?

Normally we don't have many, this year Ron has vowed to be a bit more social while we're here, because we're so confined.

We had:

one last week
two this week, plus Robbie's Christmas concert
Two next week
And at least one the week after

I'm sort of hoping there isn't any more. I love parties and being social, but at this point it's a lot.

luvmykids replied: Aside from two school Christmas programs, just one official one. DH's grandma is coming to our new place (she'll probably get there the same day we do, because thats how she is laugh.gif ) and we'll all go to FIL's.

youngmomofone replied: Just two. My mom's and the inlaws. Not looking forward to either, but at least my parents got dd some gifts so it will be nice to see her getting spoiled. Inlaws don't buy her anything at all, so my parents make up for it by going over board. wub.gif

I just hate that this is the 2nd Christmas in a roll that dh misses, but I'm glad he is coming home soon! smile.gif

Our Lil' Family replied: One this Saturday at my grandmothers and then 2 here at my house!!!!! Tim is on call so we can't go home this year, which ends up being nice for us not to have to travel....but they are all coming here! One Christmas Eve and one the Saturday after.

ETA: Actually it's 2 this saturday, one at each grandmother's homes.

stella6979 replied: Just two. We usually have Jeff's Parents over on Christmas Eve to do presents and dinner, but this year we're going to their house and I'm going to cook dinner there. And on Christmas Day we have my family over early for snacks and presents and then we enjoy a quiet night to ourselves.
