We are also keeping it low key. I'm not decorating the house this year as we are going to my mother in law's and I will be bringing most, if not all, of the food as sadly she has recently been diagnosed with cognitive issues (exact diagnosis coming next year), my sister has back problems and is scheduled for surgery in early January, and my dad has a knee replacement scheduled for January so he isn't traveling, and my sister in law can't make it. My daughter and I visited my mother in law last weekend to put up her tree and set up some lights.
We're not making a huge dinner - no big turkey or ham on a platter, or anything like that. I'm making a ton of finger foods and appetizers so we can graze our way through the afternoon while we visit, exchange a few gifts, etc. I'll be leaving most of it for my mother in law to eat since she doesn't like to cook much any more.
