Tawnia DuVall says
Until this year we were a part time multi generational living family. This year changes everything with the grandparents coming full-time due to them needing several different medical procedures. This will be our first full family Christmas in almost 25 years.. It will be incredible to have them home to celebrate with.
neuroticmom says
Heading to Idaho to be with our daughter and son in law. From CA so can’t wait to see the snow again!

My daughter and I went Christmas shopping for decorating items Wednesday at the Westboro Home Goods. We hit the jack pot and did not need to shop anywhere else! I ended up giving my daughter her Christmas money early because she found so much stuff.
I am decorating my house today and will be enjoying the holidays on Manchaug Pond. Happy Holidays!!!
Jessica Bruno says
wow that is awesome!!!! yay!!!
Shannon Morrison says
We are moving to a new house soon and really excited that our pregnant daughter in law and son will be coming north for Christmas for two weeks! This will be our first grandbaby due to arrive in March, 2019 and we are over the moon excited! We’re always happy when our three kids and their spouses (and our daughters boyfriend) can all hang out together and play games with the family and make tons of memories! Blessing to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas!
Kris Reynolds says

A lot of reading and binge watching !

We enjoy family traditions like favorite foods, decorating together, playing lots of Christmas music and singing along, and the special religious preparations for the awesome gift of Christ our King!
Crystal says
Prepping to move 🙁
So this year, hoping to squeeze in some holiday things as time & energy allow.
A reminder that life isn’t perfect, but one can always try to make the best out of circumstances out of their control.
At least I can listen to Christmas music while trying to do what I can to get things done ????
Shama says
Spending time with our 3 generations and gorging on turkey. It’s been so cold in Maryland the last 2 days I don’t want to go out!
Elisabeth says
We are going to try to have more of a low-key Christmas this year actually! We’ve had a really busy year, and nothing sounds better right now than staying home and baking cookies, watching Christmas movies, and hanging out with my 3 year old and husband.
Raylene says
Enjoying it at home with the hubby!

The holidays can be hard when you’re missing a loved one. My family has been there, but you’re right; time moves forward and we find new ways to remember the ones who are gone and make new traditions and memories. This year we will celebrate the holiday all month with neighbors and friends before heading to my parents’ house for Christmas. I’m looking forward to the busy month ahead!
Amanda G says
Over the holidays we spend Christmas Eve with my husband’s whole family celebrating our polish Wigilia (VA- GIL-YAH) we make homemade pierogies and bobka and enjoy playing games with our little ones and family. Christmas Day is all about the kids. We stay home in our pjs and our whole family join us (in their jammies as well) it’s another day of eating great food, watching old home videos and playing games!

We are going to be enjoying our daughter, son in law, and first grandbaby spending the holidays with us! They have been with us since October because of Hurricane Michael devastated Panama City, FL where they live. Even though their apartment didn’t sustain damage, their jobs are still trying to rebuild and open back up. It’s different for them but we are so happy they will be with us for Christmas! HomeGoods is my favorite store! I’ve already started to decorate! Love Christmas!
Babette says
My daughter, son in law and our grandbaby River will be spending the holiday with us. Due to Hurricane Michael devastating Panama City where they live. Their apartment is fine but their jobs still need to rebuild things and may be able to open in January. We are just thankful they are safe and we can provide a place for them to stay. Christmas will be extra sweet this year!

I get to do a couple of pre holiday trips that I’m looking forward to the first is a girls trip with my Mom, sister, niece to visit my other niece and great niece in Arizona. The second trip is with my Husband to visit our best friends in Mexico. When we get back a close family friend is coming to spend the holiday with us so it will be a busy holiday season.

A holiday season full of firsts as we continue our grand New England adventure!

Renee says
This year will be very different for our family. Unfortunately due to my husband’s chronic medical conditions we were forced to sell our home which was also my childhood home. My entire life I lived in the same home and had never moved. Our three children ages 10, 9, and 6, had only known that home as well. We were able to buy a smaller home that is two hours away from our old home. My husband, our children, our dog, my older brother and his dog drove the 96 miles to Springfield, MA on August 29, 2018. This will be our first Christmas in our new house. After my mom passed away 8 years ago we spent Christmas Eve at my mother in law’s house (she is now an hour and 50 minutes drive from us) My husband is Italian so his family also does the 7 fishes dinner. Christmas morning my in laws would come over to watch the kids open their gifts from Santa and after my husband would cook us all Belgium waffles. In the afternoon we would go to my in-laws or I would make dinner at my house and my brother and my husband’s siblings and familes would eat dinner, open gifts and by desert my friends would come over for desert and coffee. This year because we are so far we have decided to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day at our new home. The day after we are going to my in laws and will spend the night. (2 hours each way is very difficult for my husband because he is so unwell)
For Christmas Eve I want to have dinner and then watch Christmas vacation (as a kid I watched it with my brothers on Christmas Eve) I have the kids open one gift on Christmas Eve which is usually new pajamas. I have been trying to get us matching family pajamas for a couple years but unfortunately it behasn’t been in the budget. I hope next year that it will be in a better place financially and that I can start a family pajama christmas traditon. Christmas will open their gifts from Santa, my husband will make his amazing waffles and I will have the kids help me make cup cakes or a pie and eat dinner. Sorry for the long response. Your home is absolutely beautiful and I found your blog on Pinterest yesterday and have been reading every chance I get. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
Jen McClenny says
My sister is visiting on 12/26, so we will celebrate Christmas twice! I’m looking forward to decorating our tree and hoping my youngest won’t destroy it! Merry Christmas!
Teresa Bussey says
