writes: I broke up with my partner just before Christmas last year and spend Xmas with my sister, her partner and his family. They are nice people to be sure...but I don't have a connection to them really. I have just met someone but feel it is too soon to introduce him to my family. My mom did live with my sister but now lives in a home in the same town. Is there a way that I can spend Xmas with this new person and see my family later in the week. My sister is a terrific person but we tend to rub each other the wrong way at times plus it is a seven hour drive. Any thoughts on a way to handle this??

What does he want to do? He may already have plans to go to his family, in which case, just go to yours and catch up with him later in the holiday. I know how hard it can be. Or just be selfish and spend all of it with him!!!
Take care and have a brill christmas (whereever you are!)

You have lunch with his family and dinner with yours or vice versa.

 if your meeting someone new, chances are, you'll be staying awhile, but its not fair to leave your family out. make a schedule were you pop in to your family to give presents and wish merry christmas in the morning and then go to your new partners family in the afternoon, there you can spend much time getting to they're family without the fact that you left out yours. if you havent met them yet, its not a good idea to invite your family along. just plan out a routine, it will be a bit tiring crimbo and busy, but next year if you and partner are together, 'family stuff' would have settled down.
