I know, this year must have been tough for you but it seem's like there's a light at the end of the tunnel now

Usually we're spending the 24th with my dad and his family, and the 25th with my mother, my sister and her kids, and my husband's family.

This year we'll be doing the 24th with his family (us two, his parents and his brother only), and the 25th with my mother, my sister, her husband and two kids (we'll be 7). I will see my dad on the 26th. He won't be alone though, he will spend it with his family.

...awww, so special to have your Christmas extended over a few days, Remy and not just a one day only thing...and your first Christmas with a husband ......I wish you and your families a very beautiful Christmas.....

[Nicky91]

No

we never have too many family members over anyway

we will stick to the distancing, no hugs etc so there is one difference than normally

[Jessica.]

Yes, usually we spend Christmas with my bf's entire family, like 6 or 7 households. This year it will just be three households and we are still gonna wear masks and keep distance indoors because my bf's grandma is 90.

...I guess that the way we’ll think of it, Jess...is that for those family who we’re not able to spend The time with as we usually we would have....?...is that we’re giving the best gift we can, which is safety...you have a lovely celebration, my love.....

Yeah, that's how I see it as well.

The only thing it'll affect is us going to see the family on the morning. I usually see my friends on the afternoon but we made plans to instead do something over zoom so that's not much of a change.

...I think that from the girlie WhatsApp group I have...most of my ladies will be very gin filled by the afternoon, they might not see lunch time...so many times this year, I’ve wished that I drunk gin as well...(...or any alcohol...)...

It will be the first time that our whole little family will be together for xmas day in a long long time.
Daughter used to come up either earlier or later and we had two xmas days.
Now that they have moved up here, we can all spend the day together.
Our daughter in law will be here as well, she was meant to be flying over to CA to see the kids but she is in the early stages of pregnancy and doesn’t want to fly.
So, it’s 6 of us for xmas day.

oh, i forgot, i usually attend an awards ceremony in december and that was canned

[Cal.]

No. My family don’t do Xmas meet ups so it’s just our household with some doorstep present drop offs on Xmas Eve most likely.

[Josy]

Yes this will be the first Christmas in over 20 years that we've not spent it with family

We are choosing not to mix households at all and are spending it in our own house alone.

[Crimson Dynamo]

the answer to this question for most people should be YES

that way we can all move forward

[arista]

No

[caprimint]

When I'm home we normally have my grandparents over at some point during Christmas but not this year (which I'm actually happy about anyway), so just spending it with my parents

[Lewismacfarlane]

The one change will be my Auntie not coming
