Our Christmas has changed over the years as my boys get bigger but we used to alternate going to our family in VA for Christmas day or flying in a few days later. When the boys were younger we would usually start with Santa and gifts from us on Christmas morning. We have always tried to go to Christmas Eve service or during C0V1D we did a fun Christmas/Bible Jeopardy game with family.
Christmas now is changing but we will be in VA just the three of us starting on the 21st. My oldest will join us on the day after Christmas (I am still not okay with this yet but getting there...he wants to be with the girlfriend in Texas). Christmas Eve we have steaks/potatoes and a Happy Birthday cake for dessert. We go to Christmas Eve service then come home to put out cookies (we make those that week, Monster Cookies every year). Off to bed...Christmas morning at my inlaws with breakfast and gifts from Santa (we do our gifts before we leave TX). We then go to my moms or dads for lunch (my parents split up 20 or more years ago but are on friendly terms again but not married again so they are always together). After lunch we go back to the inlaws for more gifts from them and the cousins. Sometime later in the week my sister will come visit with her family. I also try to see my best friend from elementary school/highschool. We have been friends for 40 yrs!!! Last year it was messed up by getting C0V1D. If we have extra time we sometimes get away just hubby and I for an over night or 2 night trip just to refresh. We don't need this as much now as we did when the boys were little.
