Chris, I think that your holiday plans sound kind of like mine.
Christmas Eve we are going to my grandfather's house (on my dad's side). But, he just got a new girlfriend and she moved in with him and everyone says this year won't be the same because of it. Then Christmas day, we usually go over to my Grandmother's house (mom's side of the family), but she got really sick last year around the holidays from trying to do too much so this year my mom's family is all going to my mom's house for Christmas dinner.
Then I have no plans yet for New Year's.... Still waiting.
