[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]

Yeah, I don't get this. I am childless and yet I know you don't bring little kids out after dinner nor would I want them. Being childless doesn't make you stupid. Childless people have been around children.[/quote]
