Every year, my parents have Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> dinner and presents at their house, and also Christmas dinner. I used to go there and just stay over for a few days so I’d be there for all the ‘events’. But this is my husband and my first holiday as a married couple & with a baby (busy year lol) and I want to be home for Christmas. I know my mom will be upset bc she wants everyone there for all the days.

My plan is to have Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> at my parents house and then just go home (an hour drive). This would require my parents to have dinner and gift opening earlier than usual bc I don’t want to be there very late (baby is 4 months old).

I will invite my parents & siblings (who usually go to my parents house) over for Christmas Day dinner but my house is TINY (1 bedroom basically). My husband thinks I’m inconveniencing them bc it’s a tiny space, but they’re not obligated to come here if they’d be uncomfortable. I just really want to be home for Christmas.

I guess I’m just wondering if it’s typical to start doing your own thing and changing traditions for holidays once you have your own family?
