Would U Rather Spend Christmass with your family? Or Spend it with someone you love?

Hey all, since christmass is coming!!
I got a question....
What is nicer to go and spend christmass with your friends, or people you love.
Or you go back home and spend it at home...
Since I always spend it with my parents... i don't know....how it feels..
So what do you all think???

 

Since you always spend it with your family, why dont you try to spend it with the people you love this time, for a change!

 

Chrismas with my family... then New Year with my love

 

there isn't anybody that i love....

 

It all depends on your age really, when you're a kid your fam, in your 20s and 30s with the one you love, and then when you realize that your parents won't live forever ... it's kinda going back to the family thing ... with your loved one if you're lucky

 

aw come on, you could spend christmas with real good friends if you feel like it.

Lately, I spend Christmas with both my family and my love.

 

The first person you have to love is yourself.
Then, your inner becomes your outter and you will feel better about yourself and the world around you.

 

You can spend Xmas being online on DP

 

You think? For a change huh?

 

For me, it's not a big deal. I spend christmas with my family, friends and on forums that I use to visit daily

 

False dichotomy.

I love my family. I spend Christmas with those I love.

 

I spend christmas lunch with my family and the rest of the day with my friend at his pub (hes the landlord).

Sadly nobody to love atm but maybe that will change

 

This something which we have found to be a problem this year since getting married. Both Grace and me love spending Christmas with our families but obviously now we're married we have to choose which parents to go spend Christmas with. So this means that one of us will miss out each year.

I reckon it will get easier as the years go on but it's kind of like a new era.

Anyone else ever had this problem?

 

Hey go to the parents that have lotsa of grand kinds in the morning and the parents that stay up late in the evening.
Or split it up christmas eve with hers christmas days yours..the next year vice versa.

Or have a huge party at your house on christmas eve with both sets!

 

Yeah. I had a girlfriend that lived with me for a couple of years so we thought it would be a good idea to have Christmas at our house. 2 Christmas meals one right after the other one. Instead of just having everyone over at once we had her family and then mine. Our house wasn't real big and some of the family just wanted it to be their family.

Anyway besides having to do it twice in a row, my cousin stayed so she could hang out with my girlfriend's niece who is about her age. They got into an aggresive game and my cousin pegged the other girl in the head with a wooden block. Within seconds she had a knot the size of my fist on her forehead. It was freaky huge. It looked like a tumor.

Merry F'ing Christmas

 

umm, hodgie you shoulda know better.

 

Last x-mass i went out with a few friends and we got quite hammered in the club... We just got a bit bored of family x-masses. What happens if you think of your friends as your family and you love them?

 

You call them your tribe and you move to New York and become trendy

 

surely you love your partner enough NOT to drag him/her round your family's house, so spend it at home

 

I am going to have the same problem soon, maybe even worse, as my gf is in the US and I am from Europe. We plan on travelling across the ocean until we have kids, if any.

Most likely we will spend Xmas one year here, one year there. Although she is going to try to drag me to the US.

In the last few years I always travelled to the US just after Xmas (including last year's Tsunami day, Dec 26) and spent New year's eve in Connecticut at friends.

I suppose I will need advice, Weirfire!
