Family Christmas tomorrow night, Christmas lunch with the wife at home. With our big family , we have Christmas before Christmas Day so everyone can spend Christmas Day with their kids and in-laws .
 

We are traveling to my parents house with a maple glazed ham and all the trimmings including turkey gravy, potatoes, veggies, salad and desserts. My brother is making the turkey because my SIL apparently doesn’t cook :hide:
We are bringing up stockings for our dogs for my parents to see them being opened and we are taking up our instruments to play some Christmas carols. I picked out a bunch of them and have been practicing.
Everything will be premade Monday so will get reheated while there.
My mom & dad are thrilled and I’m looking forward to it.

We are hsving a prechristmas visit this Sunday to see my husband’s parents at my other SIL’s then we are going out on the 27th for a HUGE family reunion. Well 14 of us which is big enough. Then the in-laws are coming here for another meal on New Years or close to it.

It’s the most social I’ve been in years.
 
Going up to my son's on Christmas eve and staying overnight.
Christmas day dinner will be mid day ; there will be seven of us, my son and DIL, and my two
grand daughters and the oldest one's partner, and my DIL's sister and myself. I will be home
by early evening with some leftovers(I hope).
 
We are spending Christmas with my daughter in Virginia. We are leaving really early Sunday morning,dropping a few gifts off at the nursing home where my friend and husband are now living. Then we will go to the Golden Coral buffet in PA for brunch. After we will continue to Virginia and stop to see the newly opened MGM casino outside of DC. I've heard it is decorated to the hilt for the holidays. Probably meet up with my daughter for dinner and be with them until after Christmas. I don't know what my daughter is having for dinner but I'm sure it will be delicious.
 
A miniature feast for one at home.

I will tune in for the Queen's annual Christmas message at 10am and then have lunch around noon.

Christmas dinner will be a scaled-down feast of ham, kielbasa, pierogies, maple glazed carrot coins, and cabbage salad.

Dessert will be mixed berries and whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of maraschino cherry juice.

Wife and I will spend a quiet day at home. A late breakfast and then a larger meal around sunset.

That's pretty much what we'll be doing Tommy...except we make a tradition of going to the pub at mid-day ever Christmas day. It's only open for 2 hours, for drinks only, but lots of people in the village and surrounding villages goes, so it's a great time to catch up with people we haven't seen for a while
 
We'll be spending a quiet day at home, just me and my husband. He's making a Gumbo for us, I was out today buying some of the ingredients like lump crab meat, sea scallops, hot 'Italian' sausages, frozen Okra, etc. May open a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape to enjoy with it.
 
Mama and I are just gonna hang around home and do whatever as usual.

For Xmas lunch she mentioned that she's going to fix roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy and either corn or fresh green beans with brown-n-serve rolls.
 
Hubby and I will likely be stopping at Bob Evans or somewhere similar. He works for one of those 'institutions that deliver packages' and volunteered to take care of the Christmas Day parcels so others could be home with families. We will run the route together and stop for lunch along the way.
 
With all the In-Law's, etc., getting the whole crew together for Christmas can be a scheduling challenge. We usually wind up having Christmas with the kids about once every 3 years...on Christmas Day. The other two years, we get together either the weekend before, or after. This year, our Christmas get-together will be Dec.29th...next Saturday. For Christmas Day, we will go to the casino, and play the slots, then eat a free and excellent meal at the buffet.
 
I'm not sure what I will be doing for Christmas. Husband has to work so I might just be by myself watching movies or something. If it's warm enough I'll take a walk.
