I usually work Christmas every 2nd year, as a lot of my coworkers have their families interstate, so like to allow them to get away if possible.
This year, a majority of my extended family haven't seen me since transitioning (only 2). They are all supportive, but I think that will create a little stress and maybe some awkwardness.
My birthday is on the 23rd, so historically it's always been a great time of year to look forward to. And no, I don't get all my presents on the one day (I've been asked a thousand times), unless I've been working and only arrive on Boxing Day.
Christmas Day is always good fun. But this year we are the ones travelling, so 6+ hours in the car. My mum, her sister and their mother also have one of those female rivalry things going on. Don't usually see it, and my mum is the angel of the 3, but that relation is the cornerstone of the Christmas celebrations, so it's awkward when it gets catty.
I've never done the lunch with one lot of people, then dinner with another lot thing. Sounds too exhausting lol. After all, there is a whole week to fit in the others.
