We ALWAYS spent Christmas Eve at my grandparent's house. After I had grown and was married and my grandfather had passed away (my mom and grandmother had both passed away years before) we (my family and my brother's family) started ALWAYS spending Christmas Eve at my dad/stepmom's house. Life has a way of going on and becoming more complicated. My nieces have grown and married and now have their in-law families to consider and we now have 2 married children, as well. Last year we were able to get everyone together at my DS/DIL's house on Dec. 30th. (My dad/stepmom are not physically able to host anymore, although they would still like to and my house is not handicap accessible for my brother). Who knows what we will do this year? I find myself feeling very nostalgic on Christmas Eve.
