Dec 23 - Get off work at 06:00, head to my sister's place at 10:00 to spend the day with my sister, my nephew (3.5) and my parents, go out to our favorite Greek restaurant for an early dinner (16:30) then to Zoolights. Both our husbands should be off work when we get back so we'll put little man to bed and hopefully have some family time (cribbage will probably be played, maybe some euchre)
Dec 24 - leave about noon to head to my in-law's ranch (about a 3 hour drive - we'll hope for no snow this year). They'll head to church just after we get there - I'll make sure the appetizers get into the oven at the appropriate time. Spend the evening with their family and friends.
Dec 25 - Christmas morning and gifts at the in-laws house then head down to my father-in-law's parents' home (also on the ranch) to do the big family dinner with the extended family (I think there's usually about 40ish people there) along with the grandparent presents and the family Secret Santa type gift exchange. More cribbage will probably be played. At some point (2200 maybe?) we'll start the drive back to the city.
Dec 26 - head back to my sister's place and do Christmas all over again (lucky nephew gets two Christmas mornings!) we'll exchange gifts with my side of the family and have leftovers for lunch and dinner. My husband works at 7pm so he'll change there and head in to work and I'll hope someone is sober enough to drive me home at some point. I'll stay up until the wee hours (hopefully 0400 or so) as I'm back to work at 1800 on the 27th.
