I'm guessing (unless I can find a way to get out of it) we'll go to Mom's on the 23rd. Not looking forward to it at all, since my younger spoiled brother and I had some words last year. I'm thinking of getting sick that night, but not sure I can pull it off.

We always went to the in-laws on Christmas Eve, but sadly they are not here and obviously my husbands siblings do not want to get together. It's hard for them anyway, only one step-sister still lives near us, the others are out of state.

We will stay home and later in the evening my mother will come out to spend the night. We'll get up to open presents and then my mother goes to my older brothers house for dinner. We'll stay here and I'm thinking of fixing Mexican food for dinner Christmas day too, Gayle.

Later Christmas day I'll probably take the tree down or wait until the day after and then we'll be done till next year.
