lucy....when jen and the boys were little we had similar christmases...but they involved visiting at least four relatives' homes on christmas day...the poor kids barely saw the presents they opened on christmas morning before they were whisked off to go to aunt mary's, then auntie cece's, then down to san jose to uncle joe's ...and then ending up in pacifica at mike's sister's (none of these relatives were mine...other than by marriage)....it was almost a relief when mike left us and we didn't have to go to any of his family celebrations and could actually stay home and enjoy christmas!!....i keep thinking that families should be allowed to put their foots (feet?) down and say "no...we will visit you in the days before or after...but our children deserve to have a stress free christmas in their own home"....but i know that's almost impossible...
