So, I thought I was ok...but I am feeling REALLY sad that my parents are going to miss Rayanne's first Christmas. They are going to BC to have Christmas with my Brother SIL and niece. I know that they missed my nieces first Christmas too, so I'm sure they are feeling pretty pathetic about that, and I'm trying to think about how exciting it will be for my niece (she doesn't get to see my parents that often as it is because they live in Manitoba and she lives in BC (for those of you that don't know Canada that well, Manitoba is in the middle and BC is on the west coast.) But I am feeling super bummed about it. My mom and dad are coming in New Years Eve to have our "Christmas" with us and my sister and BIL...but somehow it still doesn't help. I guess I should be happy that they will see Rayanne for her second Christmas, when she is a bit older and maybe understands more? I don't know...anyway, I just wanted to vent a bit...

Anyone else's parents missing their LO's first Christmas? Would I feel any different if it was her second christmas?

I think you have the right attitude that next year she'll be so much more interested in Christmas, walking all over the place, and will be excited to open gifts! It really sucks having to split time between family and I bet your parents feel bad too

HUGS to you!

Just think of how much fun next Xmas will be! I remember Xmas morning when my nephew was about 1 1/2 years old. He just loved the whole thing!

I'm pretty sure that my parents will come for Xmas next year, but most likely not my ILs. We only have room for a couple of guests at a time.

We will not be with any family for Christmas. Dh works every other holiday and has to work so we're staying home and going to my moms the next weekend. This is this first year i will be missing my familys Christmas Eve party... i'm a little sad about it, but i'll be okay i guess. I think it makes more sense for us to be with family next year when he's more fun.
