Christmas with SO
So my BF and I have been dating going on three months now. He has met most of my family that will be at Christmas.
Side note: My aunt and grandma really liked him when they met him for my graduation. My aunt said, "You really picked a good one" and my grandma told my dad that she really liked him and that he has great manners and knows how to treat a lady. My grandma hates everyone.
I was originally planning on just going to my family Christmas on my own because I didn't know if it would be too soon to bring SO home with me (they live a few hours away so I have to stay over night) but after seeing how well everyone got along it makes me really want to bring him with me so we can spend the holidays together.
1) Should I bring him? and
2) If I do bring him do we sleep in the same guest bed or do I set him up in the second guest bed for the night? When XH and I were dating, the first time I brought him home we slept separately but then on subsequent visits we always just shared the same room. My dad never seemed to have an issue with it.

Re: Christmas with SO
When Mr. K and I went to Dallas for our marathon and we stayed at my Mom's house, my Mom told me she didn't care what the sleeping arrangements were, so he and I shared a bed while my other friend slept on the couch.
If my Mom or her DH would have had a problem with us sharing a bed, Mr. K would have slept on the couch and my friend (female) and I would have shared the bed.
If you decide to bring him, I would talk to the people whose house you're staying in and ask them what they prefer.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I guess it depends how conservative your family is. With my family, sleeping in the same bed would be a no-no. I would feel very uncomfortable, especially if the relationship was very new.
After my ex and I were engaged, we would sleep in the same bed (but that was after 7 years of dating). But with any new guy I date, if I bring him home, he's either on the couch, or in a separate bed.
I say bring him! But separate sleeping arrangements. It's only been 3 months.... but then again, I don't know how your family treats that sort of thing.
