Do it at home but just buy stuff the day before: quiche, bagels, fruit, pastries, whatever. DH and your kids have to set up and clean up.

If you want to go out, do it the day before, or the next week. Its still a celebration -- if you aren't hung up on it being "the day".


Yep. This is what we do. We also celebrate Valentine's Day on a different day than Feb. 14 for the same reason.
