For the past number of years we've gone to one or other of the kid's houses and already they're looking to see who we'll be going to this year. Personally, I preferred being the host and having everybody come here.
If you have a choice do you prefer being waited on hand & foot on Christmas day, being at home as host, or a quiet day home alone?
I've only hosted a Christmas dinner once and that was in November :pac: My sister was heading off the Australia for a year later in the month so I surprised her with a family Christmas dinner before she left. Now there are too many people to fit in my little apartment so we have generally gone to my parents. This year my sister and her husband are hosting so it will probably be more of a group effort than when we go to Mam and Dads - Mam likes us to keep out from under her feet but it will be nice for her to be able to relax (she won't, but she'll have the option)
I'd love to host a big family dinner, maybe next year if we've managed to move house.0 -

This is such a common trait amongst mothers, isn't it? It used to annoy me but I've come to realise that there's no point in fighting it! It's almost an annual tradition at this stage that we all shout at my mother-in-law to sit down and stop hovering around the table while we're stuffing our faces.0 -

All those annuals are available in my child's school. They don't get how sentimental I am when I see them. They bring me right back. They haven't changed a bit!0 -
Just seen this and love it.
Too early for wine but not too early for: Wine Bottle Christmas Trees
I would see it well in either a garden or in the right room

Showed this to my wife last night and it started a good reminiscing chat about our school days 0
