hpnegirl your MIL must be related to my FIL. The man POUTS if not given 'good enough' presents. It's darling, bless his heart. and the pictures thing, ugh, no thanks, I don't care how much your facebook friends LOVE the annual picture.
They've got to be... she literally will call my H crying and sobbing because we aren't spending the holiday day with her. *eye roll*
My H has a GIANT family (being that he has 7 siblings plus their spouses and kids), and for the past few years, we have just done Secret Santa so we all don't break the bank over getting a gift for everyone. It is great, and I highly suggest it lol.
I'll be about 31 weeks this Christmas. Most likely, we will be traveling the 3 hour drive to get to H's parent's house. Chasing my toddler through their non-babyproofed house should be extra fun this year, lol. I'm at risk for preterm labor/delivery so it is possible that these plans may change, depending on what goes on in these next few weeks.
jennykat - We started using this as a base a few years ago. For Thanksgiving a couple years back I made it with my family who has always used Stove Top and they LOVED it. Never going back. The only important change I make is to toast the bread cubes before adding them into the mix. We don't air dry the bread since toasting works better (gives better texture). Then you can tweak as you like! We've added sausage (tasty) and cranberries (could do without them).
