The grandparents come some years, and we willingly travel to visit family during the rest of the year, so we still get to see everyone. Just at more relaxed times and at a pace that is better for our sanity.Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-28741100543872518342006-11-16T00:54:00.000-05:002006-11-16T00:54:00.000-05:00Christmas is in the air!!I'm spending the next wee...Christmas is in the air!!I'm spending the next weekend planning and shopping and giving shape to a few ideas that I feel would be something unique this time.

We've told our family it's more important that we spend quality time throughout the year and not just on one day/holiday. It's okay to simplify!

I think I will use that, but useful and practical will be combined for one gift.

I love Grandma's brunch even though we are usually late. The last 2 years, we've had Mom, Ernie and Grandma here on Christmas eve for take out, so I wouldn't be hurt if they did away with it- which they "say" they'll do every year...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720538592229420776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-43246323924950797582006-11-15T12:08:00.000-05:002006-11-15T12:08:00.000-05:00We have been so much happier in our home since we ...We have been so much happier in our home since we simplified this process!<br /><br />TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-46575284507661860342006-11-15T10:27:00.000-05:002006-11-15T10:27:00.000-05:00I decided that this year I will spend Chistmas eve...I decided that this year I will spend Chistmas eve day with the in-laws and that night with my parents.
