Yeah, I hear you, but there's a difference between wanting to enjoy it and having to make it be absolutely perfect every single year.

Agreed ... and trust me, nothing's ever perfect at our house. Always some craziness going on, some bitchin' going on, etc.

Decorating the tree was a real treat ... Mom was in rare form this time in being "Madam Director" trying to tell everyone exactly where to put what ornament and icicle. We shut her down!

I do hate that the time is rushed. Between my wife and I's families we have to go to five different places, and the quality of time at each will suffer so that we can get to the next place.

That's crazy... I say make it your own holiday and if people want to come see you then so be it.

That's what we've done in the past..we do 2 places on T'giving..so if you want to see us on Christmas..you come to us..well..my G'ma is 90 and she really wants to do it at her house that's 100 degrees...that's fine..not sure how long she'll be with us...not worth getting upset

I really want to. Especially with having a daughter now. We are fairly close to family though so it isn't terrible. It just isn't as joyous as if we stayed home playing with her and all her new stuff, and people stopped by.

There's a fine OCD line between the Norman Rockwell Christmas and a free-for-all.

My grandma loves to tell everyone that "jesus is coming back!"

while it annoys the crap outta me I figure why take away peoples coping mechanisms right?
