Kinda of the plan but with flexablity
Christmas Eve: Evening Church and back to my house for appetizers (everyone bring something)
Christmas Morning: 10:00ish Family Traditional Christmas Breakfast (I prepare)
Menu: Tradition Christmas Casserole, Hot Sticky Buns, Bacon and Ham, Croissants, Quiche, Orange Juice, Coffee
Open Presents: sometime around 11:30 or 12:00 it begins when it ends who knows
I start to prepare Christmas dinner;
Menu: Rotisserie Ham (molasses), Grandma Chicken Noodle Soup (tradition), Cheese Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Pickle Tray, Beets and Eggs, Veg. Tray, Croissants, Wine
Dinner: 5:30 or 6:00
Cleanup
Everyone start packaging up around 8:00
Wife and I …. die on the couch around 10:00 convincing each other we can’t do this anyone
Next day: Dinner at my home … leftover and more appetizers
What your schedule running around plans?

Christmas Eve Early: wife and I exchange gifts, get ready to hit the road
Christmas Eve Late: dinner and gifts on her mothers side (Kent)
Stay overnight in Kent
Christmas Day early morning: gifts with her parents.
Back to Massillon by noon, my family is coming to our house early afternoon Christmas
(Usually it would be go from Kent to Salem to my parents, but for once they all have 12/26 off and don't have to be asleep in the middle of the afternoon on Christmas)

Get off at 7 Tuesday, drive 6 hours to my parents. Hang out Wednesday morning, drive to her Aunt's Wednesday night for big family dinner. Drive to my Dad's parents' Christmas morning to say hello. Drive to her house in the afternoon for Christmas with the parents and brothers. Then to my Grandma's all day Friday with my Mom's side. Back to Lexington Saturday for work. 4 days, 17 hours of driving.

It varies year to year. We always try to have our family Christmas ON Christmas, but it doesn't always work out.
This year, I am heading to my Mom's on Christmas Eve, but the rest of my siblings won't be there until Friday. We will open gifts and have our annual party that evening. We get wasted and play Win, Lose or Draw. It's men v. women, and it always ends in a screaming match about who is cheating and lying. Happy Birthday, Jesus.
I am heading to my Dad's on Saturday to open gifts with that side of the fam.

Seriously contemplating telling the wife everything starts at my parents, and hers as well, 60-90 earlier than it actually does so maybe she will be on time.

Meet up with family and friends for breakfast Christmas morning. Then we usually go hunting. Around noon we go have lunch and drinks start flowing. Christmas dinner around 6 and gift exchange after. Then more drinking and cards.

That's awesome. I'm hoping to get an interview in Denver for a residency next year. I would be buying new equipment the second I heard from them.sportchampps;1688662 wrote:Wake up
