We go out to eat Mexican food on Christmas Eve, then we all head to the skating rink. My husband and I rent it privately for the evening as the family is too big to all meet at one house. This way the kids have a blast, the parents can relax and I don't have to clean!!!!! We also hire a Santa Claus to come in and pass out the gifts. Everyone loves having the rink to ourselves. Then Christmas day is spent at individual homes so the kids can just relax and play with their toys without having to get dressed and head to grandmas. (No whining!) |
