I had the following exchange with my 4-year-old yesterday.
Baby Girl: Is it still Christmas?
Me: Yes! We’re still celebrating Christmas!
Baby Girl: When do I get more presents?
Me: ummmm…

We’d better come up with something for Three Kings, or this claim of celebrating Christmas throughout the Christmas season is going to sound pretty hollow…Lol. Wishful thinking on her part?

I highly recommend suggesting that you trade off each year, ex: 2017 Thanksgiving with you, Christmas with them, 2018 the opposite, or consider celebrating Christmas over New Years.
When I first started dating my husband in the 80’s. my future MIL already had set the precedent that she hosted her 6 kids and their families on the weekend prior to Christmas. This made my life immeasurably easier after we married and moved to a different city (still a driveable distance to both sets of parents), as we didn’t have to decide how to spend our holidays.
Once you become grandparents, be flexible and offer to do the traveling yourselves, as it is a huge hassle to travel with little ones, besides they deserve their holiday memories to include waking up in their own homes, yes?
Just my 2 cents worth…

Thanks for the solid advice, JanetF. Yes, when they start having children, I imagine we will need to be able to roll with the flow, which shouldn’t be an issue, I think.I highly recommend suggesting that you trade off each year, ex: 2017 Thanksgiving with you, Christmas with them, 2018 the opposite, or consider celebrating Christmas over New Years.
