We have pretty much always had same routine with Christmas for years now.
Christmas Day = Me, DH and DS open pressies at our house go to my moms and spend rest of day with my family (there are 15 of us in total for Christmas Dinner) go home on evening
Boxing Day - DS gets picked up by his Dad at 9.00am and DH goes and gets DSC at 9.30 we do pressies opening again and the MIL and SFIL come over to us and we send day together and have buffet style lunch and games playing etc.
Day after boxing day DS comes home and DS and DSC all stay until New Years day then DSC go home to mom and DS goes to his dad for the night then back to normal routine.
We go to my moms a lot and have family get together time with all kids and I think after bonfire night this year this has started raising questions.
DSC have started asking why they can not come Christmas Day or DS be there on boxing day and likewise DS has been asking why they can not all be together (think because they have only ever been on holiday all together and are together every weekend). I have been batting off the questions with the because you need to see your mom at least one day over Christmas and because you need to see your dad at least one day over Christmas but they still keep questioning.
What do other SF do over Christmas?
