We'll be having christmas dinner at our house. My hubby's aunt is very much a part of our family. His mom's sister never married or had children, so our children and grandchildren are like her children and grandkids. So she comes over, and Trish and her family, for a nice Christmas dinner with presents for the kids and a good time. The adults will probably play cards. The kids love it when we adults play cards, the laughing, etc. that goes along with card playing. It will be so much fun. I plan to decorate more this year than I did last year. I'm also looking forward to Thanksgiving, though that is done at my brother and sis-in-laws. Trish's family also goes there, and there are lots of people there, so it will be fun. Last Thanksgiving I held it at my house for my fil and bil, but then I realized the grandkids missed out on seeing their extended family by not going to my brother's, so this year we'll go there again. A house full of happy people. I'm looking forward to it all. As Linda said, Christmas starts in July here in the US. lol
