Do you have any arrangements for Christmas which happen on an annual basis?

For me, almost every Boxing Day, my Mum's side of the family tend to get together and go to a restaurant for a few hours as we live quite far away from each other. I normally see the other side of my family in the New Year though because my Granddad's birthday is in early January.

What about you? Have you made any plans to see family or friends this year?

Since my parents have split up for years my Mum and Dad have taken turn about to make Xmas dinner. This year I'm at my Mum's and we have Xmas dinner etc then at night I go to my Dad's. It's usually just Me, Brother, Mum, Mum's partner and sometimes my Mum's Partner's two girls.

My 'rota' is quite repetitive although it alternates each year.

Christmas Eve - Mum, Christmas Morning - Mum, Christmas Afternoon/Evening - Dad and Grandparents (His Side), Boxing day - Dad and Grandparents (His Side), and that's it really :P.

Family comes to us xmas day & night but it might be difficult this year due to my grandad breaking his femur. We also go to my aunties at night on boxing day.

Not really the same every year, but this year I *think* we'll be staying home but some family, like my nephew, will be coming over. On Boxing Day we usually have a few people coming for dinner as well.

We always go to a neighbours for drinks on Christmas Eve. It's not really an arrangement but I'm working on Christmas Day this year, does that count?

Ugh I don't even want to go this year. -.- Every single year, since my parents divorced when I was 3, we've been jumping from my dad's to my mother's.. Well kind of. On the night of the 24th, we go to my aunt's (dad's sister) and spend the night there. In the morning (YES FREAKING 7AM!) we get on a bus to the south of Portugal (stupidly cold place -.-) to go to my grandparents' (mother's parents).. It's so annoying we can't spend it together.. I had an argument with my mother about this and she told me not to go so.. I'm seriously considering that. -.-

Normally for us we all wake up and then call my Gran up to come along. When she comes along we start opening presents and then after presents we have breakfast. After breakfast we normally just play around with the stuff we have and chat etc. Everyone then gets ready to go to my aunts house for the day, open presents etc have lunch. Come home, have christmas dinner and then watch some christmas telly or just chat for ages.

The end.

The night before we always leave stuff out for Santa and write a letter and then all go to bed early, all because my brother still believed. But this year is the first year everyone in the house 'knows the Christmas secret' so it will all probably be different.

On the 25th we always have Christmas lunch with my Grandparents and cousins on dad's side, either at our house or the cousins' house on alternative years except this year the cousins' are going interstate so lunch will probably be here (hope not) or my Grandparents' and we might even do something the week before all together I really don't know what's happening.

Boxing Day for the last couple of years we've had my mum's Auntie over for lunch and then usually someone else too. Last year it was my mum's two brothers and their partners and they year before was my dad's friends.

Apart from that, absolutely nothing
Mum was like "No of course we arent doing new year's this year"

Added:
Omg forgot my dad LOL
Usually go and see him for 5-6 days between Christmas and New Year

Usually - Dinner in my nanny's house with all the family, dinner in mine Stephens Day (Boxing day) then New years eve - Party in my aunties - entire family goes to that then dinner on New Years day in my nannys.

Although this year will be different as we're going skiing this Christmas, so Christmas day/Stephens day will be different for us but New years will be back to normal! :P

Not really.
Before the divorce between my parents, we just used to have a small meetup on christmas eve.

Then when they split up, I went to my dads on boxing day for a christmas meal.

But now I don't talk to my dad, so I just have christmas with my mum. No more family meetups etc

When me and my brother and sister were younger we used to all hang out with our parents all day on Christmas and it was a family thing I always looked forward to. Since the divorce though, none of us are as close as we used to be, and my mom wants her boyfriend (who my brother and I have good reason to dislike) to be involved with Christmas this year which makes me completely sick and isn't something I'm comfortable with. Probably due to that and also due to my exam schedule, I'm not really looking forward to Christmas at all, and would prefer to just skip right over December entirely.

Kind of. My family is split between Liverpool, Surrey & Devon so the past few years all the fam from my mums side have come down from Liverpool to Surrey, so we just trip over there too. We never really spend Christmas with my dads side of the family, but there's no bad reason for that except my grandparents on his side passed away a while back so we never really bother going up north for Christmas.
