We spend Christmas just at home with us and invite people the week before for mini dinners.
ReplyDeleteIt has never been a big problem. One time we did Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Hubby's.
ReplyDeleteWe schedule time for the in-laws in the morning, and my family in the afternoon. Works out, but we end up pretty stuffed by the end of the night :)
ReplyDeleteWe currently live across the country from any family.. Makes it pretty easy!
ReplyDeleteWe try space them out over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the weekends in between
ReplyDeletewe alternate years as there is 2000 miles between our families.
ReplyDeleteWe have one party with all of the people we love at our home.
ReplyDeleteDo our own thing and not worry about multiple family chaos ;)
ReplyDeletewe spend it at my moms
ReplyDeleteWe don't deal with many parties so its really not a problem
ReplyDeleteBoth our families live less than 45 minutes apart, so we divide Christmas Eve day with both families, and celebrate Christmas day at home, just us :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone will be coming here this year since our baby is little!
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Christmas on different days for each family. :)
ReplyDeleteWe take days off and go to both families.
ReplyDeleteIt works out well..lots of travelling to get to the various family celebrations but worth it!
ReplyDeleteOur family always has to make compromises during the Holiday season, and sometimes it's hard to fit a visit in with everybody that we'd like to see. However, we've managed to develop a "schedule" of sorts that allows us to accommodate the majority of our family members, without stretching us too thin in the process. Usually we have a "pre" Holiday get together that takes place a day or two before the Holiday itself reserved for one side of our family, and then on the day of the Holiday, we see the other side of the family. So far it's working out well, and nobody feels left out or under appreciated!
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!
ReplyDeleteWe live 1,000 miles away from our nearest family, so we don't have to worry about it. :)
ReplyDeleteWe try to either have the holidays at our place or just switch off with whre we go every holiday!
ReplyDeletewe spend most of the evening at my MILs and then race over to my family's as soon as we're done. we usually just miss dinner which is good!
ReplyDeleteSome how it always works out, Christmas eve with one side and xmas day with the other side
ReplyDeleteWe alternate between holidays. So, we'll do Thanksgiving with my family on Thanksgiving Day and celebrate Christmas on Christmas day with my husband's family.
ReplyDeletewe stay home and let other people come to us.
ReplyDeletewe alternate every year and everything just seems to work out somehow,
ReplyDeleteOur parents live around the corner from each other so we visit both Christmas day :) We do Christmas with my moms side of the family Boxing Day as well.
ReplyDeleteWe go to both families, it's a little crazy but we love it!
ReplyDeletechristmas eve with his fam christmas day with mine :)
ReplyDeleteour family coordinates so noone overlaps :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I have to have one of these, or better yet a few. So cute!
ReplyDeleteWe invite everyone to our house and it works out great.
ReplyDeleteWe alternate each year which family we go see and on the third year we host both families at our house :)
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws are my only family in this country, but since my husband's brother now has his own home and family, we're finding our way. We're doing Christmas Eve dinner at the in-laws, Christmas morning at home, and Christmas dinner at my BIL's house.
ReplyDeletethank you. We do my husbands family on christmas eve's eve, my family christmas eve, and then stay home for christmas
ReplyDeleteWe show up at all of them
ReplyDeleteOur families live in opposite parts of the country so we alternate every year.
ReplyDeleteAll of our family lives in the same town, so it makes it SOO easy!
ReplyDeleteWe just stay home and do our own -visit the family (ies) on other days!
ReplyDeleteWe live across country from my family so we usually spend holidays with my in-laws.
ReplyDeleteWe split the trip in half. One family one half and the other the next half. That's the only way for us to make it work : )
ReplyDeleteMy family lives 1500 miles away so most of the time it is the in laws!
ReplyDeleteMy family never celebrates Thanksgiving on the actual day, my husband's family only celebrates that day. At Christmas, my family starts at 7, and my husband's doesn't start until 10. Thankfully they live only 15 minutes apart, so we got lucky. Otherwise, we'd probably have switched off which side got to see us on time each holiday, and who we'd visit later in the day.
ReplyDeleteBy having a baby and bringing all the sides of the family together for one big party! :)
ReplyDeleteits tough.. we usually go to my DH's family stuff b/c they live further away. We see my parents regularly.
ReplyDeleteJust go to as many family events as you can.
ReplyDeleteWe do my In laws the day of and my family the weekend after :)
ReplyDeleteWe live far away from my in-laws so we just visit when we can afford. If we all lived in the same place, I'd probably just pick one function for each side of the family and keep everybody happy.
ReplyDeleteNOW GIMMEE THAT DIAPERRR.
thankfully, our family is close by, so we don't have too many issues. As far as gifts go, we keep it simple and hand out home made gifts
ReplyDeleteWe only see my family at holidays because DH doesn't get along with his family.
ReplyDeleteOur families live close by so it isn't really a problem. We usually go to my inlaws first, then my parents & even just have everyone join us at our place.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate with different families on different days!
ReplyDeleteWe spend Thanksgiving with one family and Christmas with the other
ReplyDeleteI gave up years ago when we lived over 1,000 miles away.
ReplyDeletewe won't have that problem as everyone is coming together!
ReplyDeleteWe have 10 kids and our closest family is over 2 1/2 hours away. We stay home.
ReplyDeleteOur families are far apart--one in Europe, on here. So we switch off years.
ReplyDeleteOur family is great about this, One set of parents does their dinner a few days before, and then one on the day, then the last on the day after. So three thanksgiving dinners on three different nights, but we get a all this time to spend with each part of our family it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve With One Side, Christmas Day With The Other
ReplyDeleteWe usually have it spread out over 4 or 5 days
ReplyDeleteWe invite them all to come be with us!
ReplyDeleteI dont have that problem. My husband dosent speak to his family so its always with my family.
ReplyDeletewe switch who we see each year. for that holiday
ReplyDeleteI don't over indulge at any of them and its fine. Its kinda like having leftovers, same food, different place.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Christmas on separate days with each of our families, and then on the actual Christmas, we stay home with our own little family.
ReplyDeleteWe can only afford tickets to visit DH's family every couple years and now that my mom winters in FL, we can do whatever we like on the holidays, lol.
ReplyDeleteFamily is far from us, we see them when we can...We'll stay home for christmas!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteWe do our own thing!
ReplyDeleteWe solve it via Skype. We live halfway across the country from our families, so we Skype them. :)
ReplyDeleteThis thanksgiving was our first holiday together and we have learned a lot of what NOT to do... trying to do two thanksgiving meals in two states in one day is just not worth the stress!
ReplyDeleteWe split the days up. We go to my husband's family early in the day and mine later in the day. Christmas Eve is with my family and part of Christmas Day is with his.
ReplyDeleteOur families are usually really great about timing events so we can make it to both sides :)
ReplyDeleteStill trying to find something that works for us! My extended family has always done a huge get together the Saturday before Christmas. Usually we travel a lot on Christmas day, but I am trying to find a new system now that we have children
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is always with my family. My ex has his Thanksgiving the weekend before.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try.
ReplyDeleteUsually do Christmas Eve at one house and Christmas day at the other, seems to work well!
ReplyDeletejbang0331 at yahoo dot con
I usually have more trouble balancing it, but I'm about 7 months pregnant this year so I get more of a pass.
ReplyDeleteWe are 3000 miles from home stationed in Washington (we're from FL) with the Army so it's not really an issue. We skype when we can, as well as a good old fashioned phone call!
ReplyDeleteUsually it isn't a problem, but often we do thanksgiving with Hubby's family and Christmas eve with mine. Christmas day is reserved for our family only.
ReplyDeleteI moved my significant other 1500 miles away from his family to be near mine and we don't have to share holidays at all :)
ReplyDeleteWe just celebrated with family in town- we have a young baby so we'll probably travel next year for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteJust have my own party then I won't have to choose lol
ReplyDeleteWe split our day between the two sides of family, 50//50.
ReplyDeleteplanning ahead!
ReplyDeleteWe moved away from our families
ReplyDeleteWe do not really have that problem half of the family lives pretty far away but they are always invited to join!!
ReplyDeleteMost of our parties have been spaced out, but if we have multiple in one day we set a time limit and if we can't show up we send hostess gifts.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have this problem. My family is so spread out that we never get together. But when we were younger we used to do a year here, a year there than a year at home and just alternated.
ReplyDeleteWe eat our own immediate family dinners the night before the holiday, then extended family dinner on the day of :)
ReplyDeleteWe usually do lunch with one and dinner with the other.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's family lives across the country, so we always celebrate with my family!
ReplyDeleteMy family isn't in the usa so no problems here
ReplyDeleteOne day with one side, and the next with the other side. We're lucky that our families only live 10 minutes apart!
ReplyDeletePrior to baby we used to run ourselves ragged and go 4+ places in one day. Now we're reserved Christmas Day just for our family of 3, and then seeing the other million people on different days spread out at the end of December.
ReplyDeleteWe drive-a lot! We split Xmas between 3 parents.
ReplyDeleteEvery year is a little different and we have learned to just go with the flow.
ReplyDeleteWe normally try to hit all the parties for part of it. This year being pregnant with #2 I am starting to feel like its time to cut back though.
ReplyDeletereally want some cute Christmas CDs!
ReplyDeleteWe go to one in-laws for lunch and the other for dinner!! We're always stuffed at the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteWe do one Christmas Eve & one Christmas day!
ReplyDeleteBoth my husband's family and my own have known each other for years so we all just get together. It's great fun to spend the holidays with all of our families together!
ReplyDeleteWe moved away from them :-)
ReplyDeleteTiming so everyone gets a visit.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we don't have that problem. We live in Maui, my parents live in Canada, and hubby's family lives in Florida. There is NO WAY we could do multi holidays, so we choose one each year, and alternate.
ReplyDeleteMy husband comes from a split family, which has potential to make it even more crazy! But my family has celebrated Christmas over the New Year for almost 10 years now, and it works really well! We rarely have interference from other family gatherings!
ReplyDeleteMy husband isn't Christian and his family celebrates their Holidays on other days. It works out fantastic and there isn't ever any competition from the families for our company, plus we have celebrations all year round!!
ReplyDeleteWe suck it up and make time for them all. We may not be able to spend as much time at each event as we'd like. But we do see everyone!
ReplyDeleteWe've decided to host all holidays here at our house, potluck style. All I have to do is clean and make one dish. Everyone else brings all the yumminess to us! This way we aren't trying to figure out which place we need to be at what time. Everyone just comes here!
ReplyDeleteWe stay home on Christmas day and are time by dinner time in Christmas eve. As a kid I hated not being able to spend our holidays at home so my kids get to stay home. We celebrate with grandparents the weekend before or after the holiday and they are welcome at our time the day of.
ReplyDeleteWe all meet out for Chinese food on Christmas Day. It's easy for everyone, no one has to clean or prepare meals, and it's very low key. Aside from that, luckily, none of our holiday gatherings overlap.
ReplyDeleteThat's what we do too!
ReplyDeleteMy husband’s family and mine are a couple states away from each other, so we take turns every other year for major holidays.
ReplyDeletenot a problem yet, but we'll probably have both families all together before long
ReplyDeleteNot well, we are typically running from house to house.
ReplyDeleteWe alternate years.
ReplyDeleteWe go see every one on Christmas Eve then I have a dinner on Christmas Day.
ReplyDeleteWe used to split the days between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...now we just focus on our son...:)
ReplyDeleteWe don't live near any of our family and due to our jobs we can't travel during the holidays. That pretty much entails no one's feelings get hurt.
ReplyDeletevery cute
ReplyDeleteWe don't usually have that issue.
ReplyDeleteWe rotate, for example this Thanksgiving we spent with my in-laws, next will be with my side.... We celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family the day after Thanksgiving... That way each family gets adequate time and we are not spending the day rushing from one place to the next :)
ReplyDeleteWe're military so we are away from home. So we spend holidays with friends or with just us.
ReplyDeleteNo family parties... family lives in minnesota.
ReplyDeleteWe try to see everyone in one day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I decided that each year for Christmas we are only going to TWO family gatherings. Period. One for my side, one for his side. We try to alternate them year by year so we see different sides of our families. :)
ReplyDeleteUsually we end up going to both. It's been years since we've had more than 2 holiday meals to go to.
ReplyDeleteEasy for us! Our families live far away, so its my inlaws for thanksgiving and my family for christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is about a 15 hour drive for us to visit family on Christmas, but everyone lives close up there so we just separate our time in between each party. Our parent's usually do Christmas with us around the schedule of everything else so our kids get quality time with each grandparent.
ReplyDeleteWe divide up our time btwn both families!
ReplyDeleteChristmas is always with my family and New year with my in laws
ReplyDeleteSince we are the only ones with kids right now, Christmas day is at our house. Family close by joins, and we try to see far away family before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOur solution changes every year because DH works 24hour shifts, and when we do what just depends on his schedule. My family we alternate their coming to our house and us going to their house depending when hubby is off work. His Family has to be complicated and have two celebrations one just "family" which is his parents, us and brother and his Aunt, then another Christmas with all those people plus another aunt and cousins.
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness!! So much cuteness!! I need this diaper.
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws don't celebrate Christmas, so we never have to worry about that! Oh how I would LOVE to have some of these! I want to use cloth diapers so bad, this would be a wonderful start!
ReplyDeleteOur respective parents live in Reno and Minneapolis and we have family in Boston and Des Moines...so we rotate holidays among the cities and our place.
ReplyDeletealternate years
ReplyDeleteWe try to limit the number of parties we attend. We'll do a friends annual party the week before Christmas, we spend Christmas morning at our house, then Christmas afternoon/evening at my parent's, and then we'll travel to the in-laws for a few days afterwards. Seems to work out well.
ReplyDeleteWe have a pretty good system worked out. Christmas eve and Christmas morning at my folks place then we head to his folks for Christmas afternoon and boxing day. But we having our first baby on the way (Feb 2014) so next Christmas might be different ;)
ReplyDeleteHost it at my house and invite everyone!
ReplyDeleteWe have family in two different states. So we do every other year
ReplyDeleteWe live far from family, and choose to stay home during the holidays and travel during summer when the weather is nice.
ReplyDeleteWe go to my moms house first, then over to my husbands moms house, then to my aunts for Christmas dinner. This year we will be staying home and having family visit us tho because im due with a baby girl December 23rd :)
ReplyDeleteWe live far enough away from family, which is really hard around the holidays. The upside is that we don't have to worry about who to visit; they can choose to visit us.
ReplyDeleteWe do Christmas Eve at our house with my in-laws, Christmas Day at my parents' house and spend the next day with close friends at their house! Busy few days!
ReplyDeleteWow that's really nice. I wish i have a baby like him and i will surely use cloth diapers for my baby. I have enjoy a lot in new year party. Thanks for sharing us this wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteBaby cloth diapers
