[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 453277, member: 35964"] Very traditional at our house. My in-laws, that is husbands parents, his sister and brother with their families will arrive from Sweden on 22 December, staying until 10 January. Our two eldest children return from uni, its going to be a proper family Christmas, lucky that we have plenty of room, my parents and two sisters living in the same street, they will accommodate some of our Swedish family, dont worry they all get on like a house on fire. We share the cooking, go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve, probably get struck by a flash of lightning and thunderbolt the moment I enter church because I really only go to keep Mum happy, Christmas morning open pressies, kids and adults play, watch TV/movies until dinner, then its time to take the dogs and go for a long walk. Boxing Day we are all lazy, recovering from the excesses, playing games, watching movies, chatting, cuddling the kids and pets - some kindly soul will do the vaccuming and attempt to tidy up a little. Sad because we know for certain that this is my Dad's last Christmas, he had an operation and radiotherapy for a brain tumour in May, the tumour has started to grow again and he has been given 3 months to live :( Next few days will be spent visiting aunties, uncles and cousins that dont live nearby.
