Christmas is a lot of work! and triple with a toddler and almost 36 weeks pg!!!!

we're hosting tonight and tomorrow and it sure sounded like a GREAT idea 4 months ago! haha now i'm running around trying to clean up and get orangized and it's nuts.

I hear ya!  I did Thanksgiving for 14 people at 30(ish) weeks and was exhausted for the entire weekend after.  I said no way to having Christmas Eve or Christmas at my house for that reason. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

We host Christmas dinner every year. Normally we do ham, but this year I decided I wanted turkey. DH still wants ham. So... we're doing both. And I've never cooked a turkey before. This should be interesting.

I don't envy you. I did Thanksgiving and that was enough for me.
As much as I'm whining about having to go to my moms and ILs, at least I don't have to clean!
Add in days of rain and DD refusing naps and the terrible 2s I think I'd have a breakdown if I had to host

Uhg, I said I was going to cut back this year since I am 37 weeks pregnant...yah right!! We are not hosting but here is what I've done for DH's Christmas later today:

Wrapped all the gifts, made Italian Christmas cookies, peanut butter cup cookies, cornflake wreath, reindeer noses, bourbon meatballs, spinach dip and ham/cheese sliders!! Call me crazy! I think the only thing I didn't do that I normally do its sugar cookies, Oreo balls and fudge! (I did space all this out over three days of prep...so it wasn't too bad).

My Mom's Christmas was supposed to be tomorrow but she is terribly sick with a bad cold so we are having it Saturday now. Which is fine by me!

Merry Christmas ladies!

Turkey is really easy- don't worry.  You probably need a double over or 2 ovens to do both at the same time though.
