finally caught up on the blogging.
question. what do you guys think of having christmas dinner actually a christmas dinner, not lunch? so we can relax a little more in the morning? the thinking is, then maybe gma and gpa won't eat and run. they would have to spend the night, etc. etc. people could still come over earlier. we could even set a time to open presents, and then eat dinner afterwards. It could be a early dinner? what do you guys think?

I am totally, completely, 100% in favor of a late dinner! I really like just hanging around as long as possible in my pjs letting the kids play with their stuff. I don't like feeling rushed to get out the door/cook. Don't know if it will really work for the grandparents, though, but it's worth a try.
Not sure if you meant to include us in the present-opening or not, but we're doing ours at our house. Santa is not lugging everything somewhere else! Or do you mean extended family presents that we would bring over when we come later? A set time for that is a good idea - it would help the kids, maybe, not to nag so much.
I'd go for a 5 o'clock dinner, or even a little later.
Growing up, my family always did it at supper time, and it was nice to see my mother for once relaxing during the day.
While we're on the topic of Christmas, Jeryl and I are happy to do a Christmas Eve dinner at our place.
Laurajane likes that idea!! XD.
that little sign means a crossed eyed smiley face. i learned that from friends who are expert texters.
extended family presents. would we do that before or after dinner. traditionally it has always been done after the meal. what do you guys think? that would make it later, would the kids be able to handle it? i remember drooling over all the presents when we went to gma and gpas having to wait until after the dinner.
Before dinner. Otherwise the kids will ruin dinner/not eat two bites.
I think a later dinner is great! 5ish. We could do presents at 4? I know we'll be over at the house earlier just to hang out. I look forward to relaxing for much of the day!
I think we are staying with tradition and going to open presents after dinner. Then, we can just sit and enjoy and not have to clean up and then eat dinner, and not have anyone running to and from opening presents to check on food cooking. Plus, it will be easier to tell the kids they have to eat if they want to open presents. Dad still hasn't decided on a dinner time yet.
