We go to my parent's house for Thanksgiving, but this year we are doing it at my brother's place but it's with my side regardless. My other brother and his wife are coming in from England as well.
Normally Christmas is at our house, my family and Inlaws come over, this year my parents are going to England to spend it w/ my brother and his wife and my other brother is going to his girlfriend's family's house (they are out of state) so I think we'll go to SILs (she'll have a newborn and wants to stay home) in the morning and then have a quiet dinner at home just the 4 of us. We'll see if MIL and FIL want to come over too but it will be small.
Re: Where do you spend the holidays?
Thanksgiving is different every year - this year it is at my Uncle's
Christmas Eve - my parents
Christmas Morning - my parents
Christmas afternoon - cousin's
New Year's - our house
Easter - our house
We have TG at my MIL's on the actual holiday. We celebrate with my dad the weekend after.
Christmas Eve we stay home and my sister comes over, because she has no where else to go. CHristmas morning is with my dad, Christmas afternoon/evening is by MIL

We spend every holiday with my family, either at our house or my parents. DH's family (sister and her fam/brother) ususally go out for holidays, and we don't like to do that. DH's dad (his mom is deceased) usually comes to my family dinners as well.
Thanksgiving we spend with my in laws. They live near us, so we go over there for the day, and see them a lot throughout that week b/c other family comes in town.
Christmas we spend w/ my family. We usually go to my parents for Christmas Eve/Christmas day and then celebrate with my in laws a few days after Christmas.
Thanksgiving is different- last year was our house, year before in PA with DH's extended family, years before my sister's house. This year is my house again so we can have both sides be here.
Christmas Eve is at my house.
Christmas- we split between my house, my sister's house, and my in-laws.
Can you tell I love to entertain!!
