I think my girlfriend is a *****
Discussion
It is often women who get these ideas in their heads. In her defence at least she's (probably) being open about the grounds for her objection whereas a lot of the time it could be something else underlying, either more significant, such as a dlslike for your sister, or something very minor while a big deal to her, although the timing of the cooking falls in to that bracket.
I guess the equivalent irrational man will just stamp his foot and say 'No!' and present one of his spurious objections.
A modicum of cheer and empathy, while not what I would call my main attributes, are always boosted at that time of year (unless you have your own issues) and should be present in your mrs in sufficient quantities to lift your sister's spirits and avoid any misery.
Verdict: probably a bit of a cow.

We stopped seeing both families on Xmas day a few years ago, its no coincidence that I now love Christmas, we get up, bottle of fizz for breakfast, presents, drink, cook, eat, sleep, drink
Occasionally on Boxing Day we'll see the wifes family if they are about otherwise we see mates or relax
My family had the right hump yet years later they are all still falling out and arguing at Christmas, I suspect the hump comes from my siblings being jealous I cut the cord

Explain to her that travelling is s good thing to do on Xmas day - the roads are clear, it's more interesting than sitting in front of the TV and going around to someone else's house means less tidying and stress for you. Winner winner turkey dinner.
The proposal is the sister comes to theirs. Unless you're suggesting that the GF travels somewhere else, which isn't a bad idea.Eyersey1234 said:

I do miss simple Christmas as a kid. Open presents, get excited, play all day and get some food then go back to your brand new hoop and stick. Good times.

Do people actually have christmas dinner at 12? We don't usually eat ours until 4 at the earliest. Gives everybody time to see other parents, grandparents etc
We aim to eat at 1 - we are grandparents, so that's us, 'kids' and their kids. We need to get it out of the way fairly promptly as wife's extended family arrive mid-afternoon.Sheepshanks said:
