Last year on Thanksgiving, H and I went to the Detroit Thanksgiving Day parade and Lions game then straight to H's parents. Luckily, our parents live about 5 minutes away from each other. I don't know how it'll be once we have kids though.

Not to bee super skin-suity, but for all we know, we might have seen each other IRL without realizing it! bahaha

Maybe! We might go again this year. Don't know yet.

Christmas is semi-easy, in laws Christmas Eve and my family Christmas Day. Easter, was with my family bc MIL had just had surgery.

I am proposing we alternate my MIL for thanksgiving, as in we go to my family (until I can host) and his brother goes to his ILs, and we pass MIL back and forth each year. Not sure how MIL will take this...

I think it's brilliant.

I truly dislike the holidays, which sucks. We usually host Thanksgiving with DH'S family and my mom, but the house is on the market+toddler=no turkey here this year. We see my dad either the day or night after. Christmas is a shitshow and we used to rush all over the place. Now, it's up in the air, but we will need to make the rounds. Having divorced parents who are dating new people really makes the holidays a pain. Luckily, the ILs and both sets of my parents get along (I'm an only child), so we will figure it out.

If/when the holidays become too much, we tell my in laws we're spending the day with my family and tell my family we're spending the day with my in laws. Then we just stay home and have our own little secret get together

You're my hero.

I would compromise with you if you looked like a pizza roll and not a pop tart.

[rooskie]

At least you all can tell it's a pizza roll/pop tart. I'm on mobile and I think I need to get my eyes checked.

Haven't you ever heard of the Albino pizza roll? They are very rare.

Nope not a thing

Guise-

It's white because it's still frozen.

Dude doesn't cook his pizza rolls apparently.

I can be whatever I want to be. No one can stop this Albino pizza roll from doing her thing.

MH and I did Thanksgiving with my parents our first year together and my father's extended family and my maternal grandmother. She always goes wherever my mom is for holidays since my grandfather has passed. We intended on making it back to where we live 1.5 hours away from dinner to his aunts for dessert but that never happened. Year two I don't remember, I think we just went to my grandmothers. Last year I hosted and it was not fun. Our power went out at midnight as I was prepping the mashed potatoes and rutabaga and didn't come back on until noon on thanksgiving so I ended up cooking dinner at my MILs and showering and brought all of the food back to our house for dinner at 1. (FUCKING NIGHTMARE - but dinner was delicious) So I have no idea what the plan is this year - my BIL is moving to KY in December so I'm assuming that H's mom wants to do Thanksgiving - honestly I could give a shit at this point LOL.


Christmas is easy. We do Christmas Eve with H's extended family. Christmas morning brunch with both of our parents at our house and then we go to my aunts with my mom and grandmother and drive back to his moms for dinner.

I'm exhausted just typing all that out.

Nope. It's white because it's a frosted mini wheat.

Agreed.

Holidays are always drama with my ILs and occasionally with my side. DH's parents complain when we don't spend enough time with them for Christmas. We usually spend Christmas Eve with them (where my mom is welcome to attend) and Christmas morning. Then we would travel 30 mins to have Christmas dinner with my side. Some years we do a big party at my aunt's house a couple days after Christmas too. His parent's complain about everything and if we're gone too much from their house (which we stay there for almost a week during Christmas) they get pissy. It's all so frustrating. My mom has now moved 2.5 hours away from ILs so it makes Christmas this year complicated. Not sure what we will do this year.

This year we are doing Thanksgiving at my SIL/BIL house where both sides are invited so we can all be together. Of course, my MIL has already complained and has said "What holiday do I get to do at our house?" They built this enormous house and love to entertain but their kids are all older now and most with their own families and they just don't get it.

Hopefully next year we will stay home for Christmas

Sorry that got long and ranty
