Slight dilema

[lozzy21]

Im from a big family so im used to having a bisy christmas with lots of people and OH is from a small family so most years there was only the 4 of them. For the last 2 years we have spend christmas eve at my mams and stayed there till late on christmass day.

I asked OH what we were doing this year and he asked if we could spend it at home and go round my mams at like 11am on christmass day. But to me that just sounds so boring. I know that OH would stay in bed till like 9 and then eventualy get up.

To me that dosent sound like christmas. I like getting woke up at 6 am and fighting for floor space to open your presants and watching every one else open there presants.

Am i just being selfish or do i have a valid point?

Honestly, I think since you did your thing last year, you should do what he wants this year

 

[Kimboowee]

I agree with blah, maybe do his thing this year. His way does sound boring though!

i agree with the others, it is boring though. when we first moved in together we stayed at home on xmas eve and for me having 5 younger brothers and sisters, getting up in the morning and just me and oh being there to open our presents was crap!!

 

[lozzy21]

If he wanted to spend it with his mam then ok but just me and him? Hes only wanting to do that because he dosent like gettting up early. To me thats just being a scrooge

Im the same. Im awake for around 6. There is no way i would be able to lie or wait for him to wake up to open presants.

How about i stay at home but am dressed and at my mams for 6 am and leave him at home in bed

It does sound boring but it's not fair to make him always do it your way. You could always do your own thing without him? He could join you at 11 on xmas day?

that sounds like a plan!!

He would come to my mams with me rather than spend it apart.

We had this dilemma last year. Every year we went to my aunt's house and there was like 15 of us all screeching & drinking wine all day and I look forward to it all year!!!

OH is from a smaller family too. Year before last, we were at my aunts and it was a great christmas. Last year, I had to relent and go with him to his mums. Its was ok but sooo much quieter and it just didn't feel like christmas.

BUT this means that this year, its my turn again!!! AND we'll have the baby as well. I'm so excited

We're havin everyone round ours this year
