Holiday Crash Test

Just got off the phone with my mother - so apparently she didn't do the math on how we were spending our holidays. We're spending thanksgiving with my family and then driving up to see DH's family. For Christmas, we're spending it with DH's family and then driving down to see my family.

So she was doing some shopping and said she'd come up over the weekend to help me decorate my house. I said, well I won't be there this weekend - I'll be with DH's family. She said, oh, well they get you both holidays. I'm like - well so you do...we're spending the actual day with one family or the other and then going to see the other family. Ugh...just had to vent.

Re: Holiday Crash Test

  • Yeah, it's a hard transition for everyone.  Just stick to your guns, and communicate everything like you have been.  

    Last Christmas we agreed that we would swap every year who gets the actual holiday.  Last year, my family had thanksgiving and his family had Christmas.  This year, it's reversed. 

  • DH's family still doesn't know what they are doing for Thanksgiving.  Dude, we are a week away!  We will be either in STL or Ohio the entire weekend or doing both.  I prefer staying in one place cause thats a crazy amount of driving (Raleigh to STL 13 hrs, STL to Columbus 7ish hrs....) suck.  I wish MIL will figure out what she wants to do soon so we can plan accordingly.

  • Don't you hate feeling like a rag doll being torn between two families??? DH and I decided that this will be our First Married Christmas together and so we are spending it ALONE.. Just the two of us! Which I thought was a fabulous idea.. we are going to cook a big dinner together, spend the day opening presents, watching movies, and just being married. We are going to his parents the weekend before Christmas and to mine the day after. Anyone else just want to be with DH for the holidays?
