We still do the family thing but one year they all got flu over Christmas and were too ill to come on Christmas day so we had a quiet Christmas,just me DH and DKs.It was really lovely and relaxing without the pressure of catering for other Family members needs.I felt a bit guilty enjoying it when they were ill,and it has not happened since.We often find when all the adults get together they talk so much the kids don't get a look in ,and so play up (we don't have any other family with kids locally yet but their working on it!)
