Hi Vicki - since our Alex came home - we told everyone - that CHristmas morning is off limits (in a nice way of course) - we want to start some of our traditions with Alex and keep them going so we go to NO ones house. Christmas eve is fine and we all get together -but Christmas morn - just the 3 of us so Alex can see what Santa Claus brought him and play. In the afternoons (well usually around noon) - we all get together to open the rest of the packages and then me and my sisters start cooking (ugh). My in-laws live out of state - so that is one really good thing...we don't usually see them until after new year - or we just sent packages in the mail - but even with them -we told them we wouldn't be travelling on Christmas so they don't ask us to come up anymore for Christmas....
I guess I kinda got long winded - but this is a really important issue with me and the rest of the family...
It is tough when you have so many people tugging at you - and some don't get along...when that happened with the in laws - we just didn't go (before Alex)....
Maybe you should just stay home and do everything at your house and invite any and all who wants to come - that keeps it nice and happy for your son and you are making a point to everyone that you are not "Elasti-girl" to be stretched to fit into everyones plans....
Anyway - I wish you luck - I love the holidays !!!
Hugs to you
T
