[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can go to bed at 8 and adults can do whatever they want that doesn’t involve waking up the kids. Let them go out. Were you intending to treat the adults you are hosting like kids?[/quote]

Also when I say the extended family has visions of going out after dinner, they mean all of us.[/quote]

Your extended family envisions a family with little children going out AFTER dinner? To where? Where on earth would you all go?[/quote]

Yeah thats whats difficult with them... bc they have no kids, they dont really get it. So I came on here to see what others do Xmas Eve when hosting. Kids are 3 and 6. The extended fam is coming from an hour away and will be here all day.[/quote]

Okay, but if I was childless and looking for fun after dinner, I don't want a 3 or 6 year old involved. It's not like you can take them to a bar...I'm still totally flummoxed. Unless these childless people are hoping to go look at christmas lights, then okay fine I get that--and you can indulge if it's nearby. But if they truly want to "go out" I feel like you must be misinterpreting. Maybe what they really mean is they want you to get a babysitter so you and your DH can go out with them? That would make more sense here (though, that's a crazy idea as well, but at least more logical.)[/quote]

They wanted to get drinks at a local bar. Theyre mid-late thirties without kids so often have a difficult time seeing through the perspective of an adult with kid responsibilities. Im assuming they will drive home and then go out there if they really want to go out. Who knows.[/quote]
