Holiday time splitting
how are you newlyweds splitting your upcoming holidays?
DH wants to go to his friends (like his sister) house who is hosting a small get together for thanksgiving. I wan to go with my Family. Trying to compromise and fit both it.
What is everyone else doing?

Re: Holiday time splitting
we always do thanksgiving at my family's house- it's my birthday on the 28th, and my cousins on the 22nd, so we just celebrate it then.
the day after we do another thanksgiving at DH's uncles house.
by the time we're done with both, we're stuffed until xmas

Re: Holiday time splitting
DH's parents live in Puerto Rico, so every holiday is with my family except for Christmas, which we are going to alternate. This will be the first year I won't be with my family...not looking forward to it!

Re: Holiday time splitting
This is the worst part of being married for me. DH family does their holidays the same time my family does. So, we alternate Thanksgiving and New Years Day and Christmas we split. I admit I a greedy. I want to be my my family for all the holidays!

Will probably visit both families, not very complicated.

Re: Holiday time splitting
My inlaws are jewish (although they put up a tree) so we do christmas eve at their house so they can see us and their other son and his wife who come up from Maryland and then we all go to my folks for christmas day, (me, my dh and my inlaws) It's worked out quite nicely for us

Re: Holiday time splitting
we alternate the holidays every year so there can be no hard feelings on either family's end.
This year it was Thanksgiving with his family and my family on Christmas Eve and his on Christmas Day.
He always gets NYE and we're always with my family on New Years Day
