Didn't want to bum out the post initially so here are our plans...
We are going to my SILs ILs... They're from Venezuela so Christmas is a little different here. Really missing my family and a traditional Christmas dinner. At least there will be some "normal" sides and appetizers.

They're making hallacas... Not really a fan. They also START eating dinner at 730! Then presents which is a free for all... I like seeing what people get so I'm not a fan if this either. Then Santa comes at midnight kids open Santa gifts, coffee, and go home.
There's no small family get together here... There will be 24 people that I know of coming. But, apparently some from Venezuela were able to come up too so who knows how many people will be there now!
DS is going to be SOOO fussy and over stimulated I'm not really looking forwed to it... Sad face.

Oh, and I already POd SIL because we're not going to her Christmas am brunch...
I used to love Christmas time...

Olive...there is no way we would be attending a super late function like yours.

Tonight we go to my dad's side of the family. Starts at 6, should be home by 10. Tomorrow is Christmas at our housev with my parents and brother. We open gifts then do brunch. Then we go to SILs for dinner and gifts.

We had my stepdaughter and in laws over this weekend. This morning we are flying to my mom's. I'm meeting up with some friends when we get there, and we're having a small dinner tonight. Tomorrow we're having Xmas at my mom's, which typically turns into an all day thing. Wednesday morning we're flying home and doing our presents for our boys there.

Just relaxing today, then going to SIL's tomorrow for food and presents. Just found out they have like 10 people staying with them. MIL tried to guilt us into an invite to stay at our house....luckily guilt trips don't work on me....haha.

Brunch with my girlfriends and their SO's today then relax with my family tonight. We put out all the presents after my niece goes to bed. I can't wait to see her face when she wakes up tomorrow. We have been at my parents since the 13th... Fly to IL's the 26th then home the 31st!!

Tonight we will go to my dads for dinner.
And tomorrow we will be at my IL's for breakfast, lunch.... AND DINNER. Thankfully I will be bringing a bottle of wine to calm my nerves.. mil and I don't get along so it should be a blast!
I shouldn't complain because it's Christmas but I figured you ladies wouldn't mind!

Usually we have a Christmas Eve party we go to every year, but not going this yet. It's too late. I think I might just bake something today and start it as a tradition with LO.

Tomorrow morning we will head to my dads as soon as LO is awake and fed and go open gifts. We'll probably have Christmas dinner there and then head home.

Today we are driving up to orange county for mass and dinner with MHs side of the family, then driving to my parents to spend the night and spending Christmas at their house since they have the most kids and space. My MIL & SIL will join us at my family's house for Christmas dinner. Should be low key and relaxing. I am so excited! Merry Christmas!

Not too much. I just picked up steak to have for Christmas dinner. We are going to IL's for presents in the morning. I am hoping that doesn't end it a big shtfest arguement since that is usually what happens. I am looking forward to just the 3 of us that afternoon!
