[quote=Anonymous]My parents have been divorced since I was a baby, but this is the first time they are both insisting that they have a "Christmas morning" with presents from Santa.  Our oldest is 4.5, so he "gets it" this year, and our younger ones are old enough to rip into presents now.  To make it more complicated, we'll be travelling to accommodate these "Christmas morning" requests, since neither parent was willing to drive to us this year since siblings are involved (fair enough).  And, of course, DS only wants toys that are not travel friendly (a bicycle and a globe).

DH thinks we do three Christmas shindigs, one with my dad, one with my mom, and one for us when we get back to DC.  This makes me want to scream, but I would love to hear how others have handled similar things.  I know this is a "first world" problem, but I may need wine to get through the logistics of having presents for the relevant people at each location, getting a U-haul, boarding the dogs, explaining Christmas being more than one day a year to the kids, etc.[/quote]
