What are your plans for Christmas Day??

I am looking foward to tomorrow, we only have one place to go....and its going to be quite an entertaining day. We are going to my aunts house and my uncles family is there too. They have to be the weirdest people I have ever met. I am so entertained watching the gifts they bring people...they shop at the supermarket. Last year they got my uncle some pancake mix and syrup and a six pack of beer. My aunt got blueberry muffic mix (betty crocker). My cousin got a box of crackers!! And the drama of one of my uncles sisters...holy cow, I leave the room every five minutes to laugh!! Very entertaining day!!!! My brother actually scheduled himself to work tomorrow just so he wouldn't have to go!!

Merry Christmas!! Hope everyone has as entertaining a day as I will tomorrow!!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Dinner at my parents.

I got lucky when I got married - my parents don't really do anything for Christmas Eve, whereas it's a huge deal for my MIL. Christmas Day is huge in my family, but not in my MIL's. Works out perfectly every year .

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

We're going to my MIL's house for an early dinner. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Breakfast with my parents and some siblings early in the morning - then opening presents with my family.
We'll go to visit my husband's parents to say hello.
Then back to my parent's for more presents and dinner.

Then we can sleep.

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Well, Christmas Eve is HUGE, I mean HUGE, in my family, so tonight, we're going to my grandparents' house, then me, JT, my sister and her hubby all go to my parents' house and sleep over because we have a huge brunch in the morning and open gifts, and this is Ava's first Christmas, so we'll all get to be there for it. Then, we usually go to JT's sister's house, but since we're not speaking to his family, he doesn't want to do anything tomorrow So, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow at all

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Well, we have our "Jew Movie Day" tradition. We sleep at DH's parents' house tonight, get up in the morning and sit around in our PJs all day eating junk food and watching tons of movies. Chinese food for dinner!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

going to Brooklyn to my grandfather's house (with my whole side of the family), so i'll probably be sitting on the belt pkway all day

i luck out with DHs family (my MIL rocks!)... they usually celebrate it either the weekend before or the weekend after, so that no one has to pick and choose, or go crazy trying tomake the rounds (esp since his sybblings are all over the place)... so we'll celebrate w/ them next weekend

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

DH has to work until 4pm (damn LIRR!!! ) so I will be at my moms hanging out with my family and then when DH gets home we'll go to his Mom's for dinner.

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

I'm Jewish and DH is Catholic (only for the presents ) and none of his family lives anywhere near us...

SO, we hang around in our jammies all day and play with all our new toys!!!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Tonight is HUGE with my DH's family. We'll go into Brooklyn tonight about 4 or 5 and have the whole fish dinner. Then we usually play cards or something then at midnight we open presents. After presents we usually have more food like cold cuts and a cold antipasto. We leave there about 2 or 3, come home and open our presents for each other.

Then we go to my Dad's house with my sis and bro for a big breakfast. When we leave there we go to my Mom's for presents and dinner. Basically, now I won't sleep one bit til tomorrow night!! And we will probably eat more food in 48 hrs then anyone should!!!!! But, at least it works out with DH's family on christmas eve and split christmas day with my mom and dad.

I'm tired already just thinking of it!! This preggo might need a nap before midnight tonight!!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

It works out in my family pretty good (thank goodness).
Christmas Eve is a big deal for my parents. We will go there today, have dinner, exchange gifts, "hang out".
Tomorrow we will go to my inlaws. My BIL, SIL, and nephew come in from Jersey.
I may tell my parents to stop by after they visit my aunt and uncle for dinner later on tomorrow night. We shall see. Dad and DH both have to work on Tues.

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Because of my MIL's health we are spending both nights with DH's family. (I feel bad but my family is so understanding)

So tonight we do the Italian fish thing at my SIL's and then tomorrow we go to my other SIL's. Where I will spend most of my time in a separate room breastfeeding

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

A short visit with my inlaws then over to my moms to be with my whole family. This is going to be a very tough Christmas without my stepdad there. Instead of the usual Turkey dinner we are all going out for chinese. But we will all be together & that is the most important thing!!!!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

well, since everything is closed, we are going to veg and watch a movie and cook a nice dinner- moussaka and sangria!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

I am going to see Dreamgirls with about 5 of my mommy friends while the Dh's babysit the kids. ( we already got the tickets)

Then a little later we are meeting about 5 families at a chinese reastaurant for an early dinner.. (like any other jewish family does since they are the only ones open)

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating...

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

Everyone is coming to our house! Hope it is a nice holiday for everyone!

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

we're leaving tongiht to drive 2 hours to my parents. it'll be just them and DH and i this year because my sister is in whales for the week visiting her BF ( hes from there). we'll probably just hang out, maybe go in the hot tub or drive around and look at christmas lights.. THEN, tomorrow, we'll get up early and have breakfast and open presents with my parents. at 12, we're going to my grandmoms house for lunch ( she had a stroke last year and has a live-in aide, so her aide is cooking us all lunch THEN after that, tomorrow evening, we go to my aunts house for dinner...
DHs whole family is from out in PA ( like 5 hours away) so ILs go out there for the holdays, so we celebrated with them earlier this week before they left...

Re: What are your plans for Christmas Day??

I'm making my first christmas dinner for DH. We decided to make it a nice romantic candle-lit meal. I'm making a chicken in a lemon-rosemary marinade, garlic mashed potatos, and green beans w/ baby bella mushrooms. I'm excited because it's the first time I have ever cooked like this...so I hope it comes out good. Then I'm insisting we sing some christmas carols because I miss doing that. It's our first christmas married, so we are going to enjoy just having it be us...who knows who will be joining us next christmas
