[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No thanks. You’re really fixed on the adults and making sure the oldest are coddled. I remember what it was like to be a kid getting shuttled all over on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, visiting older relatives who were awful to my sister and I, and took my mother completely for granted. Overstimulated, rushed, never allowed to have a quiet moment or enjoy the gifts or the food or the music. The years where one or both of us got sick on Christmas and the family stayed home together are my best childhood Christmas memories. Now Christmas is a day for family. Meaning my nuclear family. Obligatory visits to older relatives take place on the 26th and the morning of the 24th. It’s just a few hours? They can get that few hours another time.[/quote] This is a thread about inviting parents over, not “shuttling all over” to older relatives.[/quote]
