How do you and your husband or boyfriend split up for holidays to see everyone?

Where do you spend Christmas eve?,


Where do you go Christmas day?


How do you see both of your families?





I am going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off just to see everyone, Bc Christmas day we have to see his family, Christmas afternoon and than make an hour trip in time for dinner at my sisters.





The reason this year is going to be hectic is bc we both have more of our families coming up.How do you and your husband or boyfriend split up for holidays to see everyone?
if both of you really want to see all these people, you just gotta do what your doing, but if not, try to explain to the family that it will impossible to see everyone on one day, maybe half for christmas, half for new years......How do you and your husband or boyfriend split up for holidays to see everyone?
Take it from me... it's hectic but I love seeing everyone. Both my husband and my parents are remarried so that's 4 houses to visit instead of the traditional two. He is military so we are about 12 hours from his family. They way we do it is to actually split the holidays. This year we went to his dad's for thanksgiving and drove 2 hours to his moms the day after. We spent a week total visiting. Then for Christmas we are visiting my family in town. We'll probably go to one that morning and the other for dinner. Last year was vice versa visiting my family for turkey day and his for christmas.


They usually don't mind as long as they get to see you. I can tell you it's more fun christmas morning with a house with young kids.


Just find a way to make it work. We are only talking about holidays that happen once a year so it's ok to deal, just take a day after to catch up on you and him.
We did that for years. Because both of our families live in other states, we were hopping on planes, renting cars, rushing around trying to see all of our family and friends. A few years ago I called a stop to it. I want to stay in my own house and have a nice quiet celebration here. Plus we never put up our own tree because we were gone so much and I didn't like that. It is much more enjoyable now.





I mail all the gifts before Christmas and then we go to visit after the New Year. Our families miss us but they understand that traveling that much was just too hectic and stressful.
i put a stop to that nonsense. it's part of growing up.





visit them in january after the holidays are over.





I have my own personal holiday beforehand. christmas at my best friends house on the 25th. boxing day with another friend.





you could do the twelve days of christmas. or 12th night. or candlemas. you don't have to make yourself crazy. it's up to you.
We just have a little Christmas together than slit we don't make such a big deal about it but because im pregnant this year me and my husband are spending this year with his family because i don't wanna have anything happen and not have him on my side
its hard.. its my first christmas wit my fiancee and im doing christmas eve wit his family... christmas morning wit my dads family.... and christmas afternoon wit my moms family..... or works well i guess... im just scared for new years lol
I made sure I didn't get caught up in that fuss.


Luckily, both of us think alike.


My husband and I like to do our own thing.
