[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to spend Christmas Eve/morning at a different house.

Do you have other siblings you can stay overnight with, even childless/single.siblings? Grandparents?

OP. We always do Christmas Eve/morning at our home, with or without houseguests. Sometimes we'll head to other family members' homes after that, sometimes we stay at home, depending on what our other family members are doing that year. This is a year where we'll be at home by ourselves and then meeting up with family elsewhere later that day/week. My mother (who was HUGE into Christmas and would probably be heartbroken at her only granddaughter not getting the "magic" of Santa) is gone. It's just my brother and me.

I think it was actually a big sore spot with his in-laws, who clearly have the same feelings we do not wanting to spoil Santa for their three young kids. I'm curious how they'll handle that! At one point, I think they had actually asked them not to come for Christmas. I don't think I'd go that far, but it does bug me. [/quote]
