When you were young did you have several "Christmases" to go to, over the course of a week?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46830points) December 24th, 2017

Since my immediate family has gotten so large I find myself going to different Christmases on different days thorough out the week. For example, today is Christmas Eve, but we had Christmas with my son and his family yesterday. Trying to plan Christmas with my two girls at some point.
It’s a little disconcerting for me because growing up we just had us, my mom and dad, me and my two sisters. No extended family. Just the five of us, year after year.
But now some of my family has to work on Christmas. They all have step families they have to share with. It’s very, very rare that we can all gather at one place at the same time.

Did you do this growing up? How did it feel?
How can I shake this feeling that something is “wrong” with that?
