My mother-in-law has come round to our house at Christmas seven years running. This year we're having a change. We're going to let her in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's been a long while, but, thank God, now I've been able to get my mum a house.
Our family's special holiday tradition is going over to my grandparent's house on Christmas morning. My grandma cooks a big breakfast, and I love hearing her tell old funny stories.
At Christmas, it's my siblings running around the house, we're cooking, talking, laughing, loud and just crazy. It's beautiful chaos.
Christmas is taken very seriously in this household. I believe in Father Christmas, and there's no way I'd do anything to undermine that belief.
My family always makes a huge deal out of Christmas.
For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.
Christmas is a huge thing in my family. We usually start decorating the day after Thanksgiving. We spend Christmas Eve with one set of grandparents, and Christmas Day with the other grandparents and our family.
Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks' Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely.
I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, 'Get the hell off my property.'
I always go to my mom's house for Christmas.
