Well, Christmas is a different story. They actually do things at different times, making it super easy for me to get to various events.
Dad's side = Christmas Eve party
Dad's side = early morning presents
Mom's side = afternoon presents and early evening dinner
Dad's side = they go out to dinner, I sometimes meet them afterward for cocktails.
I live in Huntington with my grandma on my mom's side, and the rest of the family is in Costa Mesa, making it not the hugest travel deal for Christmas... Thanksgiving - it seems no one will budge on the time. What will likely happen is that I will eat at grandma's (mom's side) after taking a quick shower, then I'll head over to the other family to say hi.
