jlbuben:yes we'll see my mil after christmas (they live 10 hours away) but i wasnt sure if it's tacky to have her wear her christmas dress with her after christmas..? also i didnt know if it's not as special for my mil for her dress to be worn a different day. you know, sort of like i'm choosing my mom over her?
i'm overthinking this, aren't i? haha
yep. Consider how your MIL might feel if she didn't get to see your LO in the dress she got, whether in pictures or in person. I don't think she will care if it's on a different day!
If you want, put her in that dress first on Christmas day, take a picture, then switch outfits. Then have her wear it again when she sees MIL.
Just because it's a different day doesn't mean you're not celebrating the holiday!
