The Holidays.

This is a subject that all newlyweds must tackle. How do we decide whos family to spend the day with? Or do we just have the whole crew over here (despite the fact that it is a crazy amount of people with both families under one roof).

Holiday season is quickly approaching. We have Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Thanksgiving, and then all of the fun that comes along with December.

This is the first year we can really host a holiday since moving into the new house. Aron and I decided that we would approach the subject slowly and carefully, Start slow with Yom Kippur. We figured it was easy because it is traditionally a dairy dinner with bagels and shmear. Nothing really hot unless we make a noodle pudding or something. So we invited both sides. Including just immediate family, aunts, uncles, and first cousins, we have 8 on my side and 12 on Aron's side.

Today I am informed that we are also doing Thanksgiving here. Plus we are adding my Aunt and Uncle from Delaware. It is a bit overwhelming, but it does make it easier to put both families under 1 roof and not have to worry about who we aren't going to see for the holiday.

Hopefully after the first few times, it will get easier to be the gracious host.
