Ha ha the movies, awesome!! You're definitely right though, will take it as it comes - hoping to be like you and it be pretty smooth sailing Hopefully with the early labour rather than the late!!
If I can travel, we'll be spending Thanksgiving with my parents; They live about 3hrs away. If not, we'll go to in-laws who are about 45min away.
We always spend Christmas Eve by ourselves and go to the in-laws on Christmas Day for presents and dinner. We'll more than likely do that again this year unless I just don't feel up to it. Christmas is 3 weeks before my due date.
What do you ladies in the UK usually have for Christmas dinner?
We generally one or two meats including turkey/ham/lamb/beef with some sort of potatoes and vegetables. Don't forget rolls and appetizers. Of course, lots of desserts. My mom makes a killer apple pie that slays me warmed with vanilla bean ice cream.
La mere - thinking of you and your mum.
Christmas dinner wise we normally have chicken as not a fan of turkey and then one other meat, normally beef or lamb. Plus roast potatoes, veg, stuffing, pigs in blankets (sausages in bacon) and Yorkshire puddings. We normally have something to start as well, either soup or prawn cocktail. Pudding wise the tradition is Christmas pudding which is like a sponge based dark cake with fruit and brandy although I could be wrong there as not a huge fan. We normally have something else.
We don't really celebrate big on Christmas Day as my grandfather dies quite close to Christmas so we do it for the children in the family and then we celebrate more on Boxing Day where the whole family, about 30 of us go to my mums.
I am pleased to stay that's I've nearly done all my Christmas present shopping, probably 2-3 more gifts to buy. We have to start early as wi have a very big family and with baby coming this year it's extra reason to ensure it's done!
Prayers sent ur direction La Mere, has it been completed yet? Any update?Girls, I just found out that my mom is having to have surgery this afternoon because of a bulged disc that is pressing on her spinal cord. If I could ask you all to please say a few prayers for her. Her name is Anna. She's really scared and so am I. Thank you in advance, girls.
I had been getting this pain but I think I've got the round ligament pain starting now since it feels like I've pulled all the muscles around my pelvis - baby is also laying transverse really low.... Hope he moves soon and it helps....Does anyone else get period type pain? I'm getting it daily and it radiates into my back just like with normal period pain. I don't remember this with my first pregnancy. I don't have any round ligament pain at all. Just this period type pain.

Traditional christmas dinner in the UK is turkey but some people have other meats we have turkey, potatoes, veg, stuffing and pigs in blankets then christmas pudding with custard nom nom nom.
We go to the in-laws for christmas dinner every year and then stay over night, luckily they only live 7 miles away so not a problem if labour starts, although my mil has said Ill be sitting on a plastic sheet just incase my waters go pmsl
Thinking of your mum la mere, hope all goes well xx

We usually have a pretty traditional Christmas dinner of turkey, roast potatoes, brussel sprouts, other veg, stuffing and pigs in blankets. We also usually follow it with Christmas Pudding and cream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pudding) or trifle. I LOVE Christmas dinner although it will be a bit different this year as DH decided to go vegetarian earlier this year so it will be me eating turkey on my own.
La Mere - I hope things go well for your mum!
La Mere - not sure if it's over yet, hoping everything has gone to plan x
