Holiday Traditions
-
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

@68degreesorless boy do I understand that last line

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.

You know @Matt you could have been swilling beer & smoking dope with a buncha online pals but you chose family.
What is wrong with you?
