Good news: We don't have to travel anywhere for Christmas.
Bad news: This means I am hosting all the Christmas get-togethers for three separate family groups. To wit: I will cook a big meal midday on Christmas Eve for a total of 11 people. About two hours after they leave, I will serve another big dinner meal to a total of 9 people. The next morning, we will have the chaos of present-opening with 4 children, and then at 11:00 AM I will serve a big meal to a total of 12 people.
However, this does not have me freaked out, because I kind of don't give a damn. And it really is a good tradeoff for not having to travel. I'll figure something out.
