[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've told everybody: We want the kids to wake up in their own home for Christmas morning.  Everyone is welcome to come stay with us, or stay in a hotel near by and come over!

PERIOD.  It works, OP.  It's a lifesaver!  It's so logical--it's YOUR tree, decorated by the kids and you, and your presents, and your cookies and milk, and your fireplace that you can rig with balled up newspapers that will get crushed by Santa overnight as he steps out and into it.  All the excitement is building, all month, IN YOUR HOUSE.

Now this means that no Christmas somewhere else.  But you can always go somewhere on Christmas day or the 26th.  Assuming they don't come your way, they don't exactly have to know about that...[/quote]

Yup. We started doing exactly this once we had kids. We wanted to start our own traditions in our own house so our kids would have those memories, not memories of flight delays and sleeping in an unfamiliar place. My parents come every other year and spend the off years with my brother and his children.[/quote]
