Holiday Traditions
-
This year we're doing Christmas Day with just my wife and 2 kids at home. Then driving from Nashville to Atlanta Christmas evening to meet up with the in-laws, grandparents, and baby nephew and spend Christmas with them the morning of the 26th. Then we'll be in ATL for a week or so with some other family (lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces) coming to visit from Florida. I'm hoping to break away at some point to check out Guilty Party and pick up something nice for myself.
It's gonna be a wild ride!

Ours is Christmas Eve at my wife’s sisters place with their dad and stepmum ( my wife’s family has a really weird family setup)
Christmas Day at my brothers with his in-laws and then Boxing Day at home alone with the 3 of us which suits me down to the ground

The missus and I drive south every year to see family. A night or two before we go, we put on Xmas tunes, turn on fire place, make holiday cocktails, and wrap all the gifts. I find the wrapping to be a challenge and hers usually look better, but this is consistently my fav night of the holidays. Family time afterward is hit or miss

Man, I honestly don’t know how y’all that do the elf on the shelf do it! My oldest is 7 and he has said he has friends that do it, and I’ve already explained to him that it’s just parents having fun with him. I have felt like such a grinch, though!

Should also say, Santa still visits us at our house for our kids! I just don’t have the bandwidth or time (or creativity) for the elf on the shelf shit!

@Matt well shucks!
I'll be at my brother's with his little ones. I got the nephew a marble run for Xmas and I'm looking forward to setting that up with him.

@chrisjohnnick ha! I need to admit that I’m not the one doing the relocating every night. And every morning it’s as much a surprise to me as it is to the kids when we find him. I mean my kids are 12 and 10 so I’m 100% positive they know it’s us, but he’s part of the family now

Now she just warned us all not to touch the food in the Smithsonian cafeteria unless u plan on buying it because the workers will throw it away. It took her 4 different plates of food to figure that out. She was not laughing, she was still confused by the situation.
