ReplyDeleteWe are going to the great aunts house on Christmas Eve, opening presents with the kids on Christmas and then while in jammies, going over to the grandmothers house for Christmas lunch.
ReplyDeleteWe plan on a family get-to-gather. Most everything is done. So we plan to just sit and visit and snack, along with our fur babies. Between that 7 of us. 11 fur babies. It will be "fun" seeing how my cats and my sisters cats react to our younger sisters dogs. We expect to have a bang up time. Della at deepotter@peoplepc.com

We are doing a Christmas Eve eve lunch today with my Dad and step-mom. Tomorrow we do Christmas Eve breakfast with my mom, followed by Christmas morning at our house, visit to my mother in law in the nursing home, and a big family party at my aunts house with all of my cousins. It's always a fun and crazy few days. Then, I got tickets for my son to find in his stocking to go see the new Star Wars movie at 7 Christmas day. Now that he is getting older I am trying a new tradition of gifting the family movie tickets each Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate with the kids and grandkids on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, we'll enjoy each other. I've just discovered Molly and actually bought one of her books at our local yarn shop to put in my stocking :) Would love to read all of them.

Christmas with the family, mother turn 90 this year. Extra reason to be greatfull that this wonderful person is still with us! Kai, noahsarkmanx@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I are spending it with my family. Our tradition is to eat Chinese food, then open presents. I love getting my furbabies presents. Sparky Lionel Urban, my terrier likes to wear t-shirts and sweaters so I dress him up. He also gets presents. Hubby's furbaby gets soft treats since he is our senior citizen Chihuahua. Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Thank Goodness Walker's has Gluten Free shortbread now, so I can enjoy some with a cup of tea while I plan my holiday shopping, writing and art projects. Merry Christmas to all!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are spending the holidays at my in-law's house. My father-in- law might get out of the hospital today!

ReplyDeleteWe're not really doing anything. Just me and my parents and we can't afford any presents. I don't have any other family that I see. I will be watching a lot of DVD's that I got from the library: English mysteries such as Midsomer Murders. I will eat a Stouffers turkey dinner on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteThe past several years have been filled with school (Non-traditional students). This holiday season will be spent cuddled together; enjoying each others company, reading books for enjoyment, sipping hot beverages and snuggling our 3 furry friends.
ReplyDeleteA quiet day with good food and a good book.
ReplyDeleteWe go spend the day at my parents house.
ReplyDeleteI plan to spend quiet time with my family and friends.

ReplyDeleteWe dine on gumbo on Christmas Eve. Next we attend midnight mass. We sleep in on Christmas morning. My husband likes to fix a special Christmas breakfast. We look at our gifts from Santa. Finally, I will prepare a roast beef dinner for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteagavigan@cox.net
We will be going to a few family members houses but the major celebrating is done at my moms. The best part will be Christmas morning when my kids see what Santa brought them. Thank you for the chance! Merry Christmas.

We had family visit early, and they are now back home, so we will be having a quiet Christmas. Already miss the family! bobandcelia@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI love reading series that are based here in TN. Not a fan of ghosts in my cozies, but yours is done so well I enjoy it. We will have the whole family coming here for our Christmas meal - rouladen, schnitzel, slaw, 2 different mashed taters, green bean casserole, turkey and some other goodies. After eating our meal we will open presents and then be ready for dessert. Thanks for the contest. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas. kayt18(at)comcast(dot)net

Deletei am going to be spending Christmas with my 16 year old daughter. We will keep on our jammies and watch TV together while probably sipping hot chocolate and cuddling with the cat! A relaxing day as they are few and far between. Plus...she is growingup so quickly and won't be home for long....
ReplyDeletemommy_to_zoe(at)hotmail(dot)com
well, channukah is over, but, we plan on spending new years eating pizza or noodles, loved the first book! can't wait to read more of 'em
ReplyDeleteWe will have a quiet day with our immediate family at home. Christmas Blessings for Very Special Individuals. I am thankful the Lord placed you in my life. He saw that I needed you, with your unique gifts that add such beauty to my life - and at just the right time He allowed our paths to cross. At Christmas and always, I pray He blesses each of you abundantly for the blessing you are. servedogmom@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy first nephew was born today, so I'm going to squeeze in as many baby snuggles as I can. :) We'll be visiting family on Christmas Eve and Christmas evening.
ReplyDeleteMy husband an I have sort of been adopted by two families who do not have grandparents here in Arizona. We do not have any grand kids - and so we now have 7 rent a grands. We will spend Christmas eve with one family and the other will come here for Christmas Breakfast. Lots of giggles and hugs - sitting on my lap and maybe some knitting. Until then I am still knitting slippers for all of them!
ReplyDeleteI like "rent a grands"!
DeleteWe will celebrate my birthday a little on the 24th, go to the Christmas Eve service, come home and have snacks to eat, open gifts, get up the next morning and go to church and have a quiet day, enjoying our time together. Our kids are scattered all over the US and we see them in the summer when it is safer to travel. Merry Christmas!

It all occurred as a real "happy"-stance. Most family lives on the other coast, except my niece. So she and I met Christmas Day at the nearby Starbuck's to exchange gifts and gossip over coffee and McTreats. We had such a wonderful time, we've made it a tradition. Now, she and her dad, my husband and I get together to have a merry morning. This year with Christmas part of the weekend were adding post-Christmas pedicures to continue enjoying the holidays. kat8762@aol.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I do a fondue dinner, play dominos and watch Lampoon's Christmas. I always get some reading time in. No family to spend Christmas with. I would love knot the usual suspects, thank you for the giveaway. Georgia

The entire family gathers for gift opening, brunch, card games and dinner and perhaps a drive to see holiday light displays in the neighborhood. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletedblaser(at)windstream(dot)net
I'm hosting on Christmas Day. I'll have a breakfast casserole in the morning with one of my children and his family. They will come back later along with my other child and my parents. I will be having prime rib and a tradition that we celebrate every year is pulling Christmas crackers and having plum pudding. If permitted, we'll have the fire in our fireplace and open gifts.
ReplyDeletebluedawn95864 at gmail dot com
This year will be very quiet for me. Probably classic carols in the background, Netflix movies, a few good books. If I am ambitious I may bake cookies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! I plan to spend the next few days quietly reading and enjoying movies. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteangelhwk68@yahoo.com
I hope to have a relatively quiet holiday with family on two different days, also church on Christmas Eve. New Year's Eve will definitely be a quiet night with my hubby. Thanks for the chance to win! jeaniedannheim ( at ) ymail ( dot ) com
ReplyDeleteThe holidays mean time with my mother and brother. Turkey dinner, presents, and then game night!
ReplyDeletePlaqued by Quilt! I have no family so I spend it reading and I go to a early service.
ReplyDeleteI'm at Gulf Shores. I have watched Christmas movies all night, came to the pier to watch the sun comes up, and tonight my parents will be here to celebrate! Tomorrow we'll be having etouffe, scallops, shrimp and a cheesecake/goat cheese/roasted pineapple thingy!! I wish y'all a very Merry Christmas from the beach!
ReplyDeleteSince my husband had cataract surgery yesterday, Christmas this year will be spent quietly at home with our little Corgi mix, Bella. Our youngest son will be over to eat and the oldest daughter will probably stop for a bit with her family. Our other son and his family have invited us for supper on Sunday and we celebrated Christmas with our younger daughter and her family at Thanksgiving since they live several hundred miles away. Kind of miss having everyone together, but then again, it's nice to spend time with each quietly and enjoy the moment.
ReplyDeleteOur family will spend a quiet Christmas this year. We will eat our Christmas meal at home and then take dessert to my mother-in-law's house to share with her. robeader53@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteMy husband is working, so I'm hoping for some time to knit while the kids enjoy their new goodies.
ReplyDeleteWe go to our Nieces & spend Christmas with all the Family. My Husband made a Lego table for our 2 Grandsons & it was painted black with Star Wars characters on It & 2 benches with each of there names on it. They went crazy when they opened it up.
