Ok... here's the crux of the matter. Starting from the time my first kid got married, my daughter, she and the rest of us alternated Thanksgivings and Christmases. THAT is the way I think it should be! When David got married, suddenly it was done the way HE wanted it. Christmas Eve with his dad and family, Christmas morning David with HIS family that included his mother and then father in law. When Chuck got married, it didn't matter because he's in Oregon. When John got married, it was his WIFE'S way or not at all, which was Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning and Christmas "lunch" with HER parents. I didn't get MY turn until David said I got it, which USED to be at three pm on Christmas Day. NOW, David is pushing it back two more hours. John's inlaws have Christmas "lunch," but they are still full and aren't ready to eat at three... or four... or five, really! They're full for the rest of the day.

MY problem is this. I'M %#@&#! TIRED OF GETTING EVERYONE'S LEFTOVERS!!!!!
