It has been our tradition that we are together for the holidays. My married brothers come home with their family and spend Christmas with us and some cousins also come for a visit. The house is always a riot with kid's toys and shrieking little voices but it is always filled with good memories. After Christmas, they go home to spend New Year's in their place so MJ's birthday is normally spent either in their place or outside in a restaurant. This year, we decided to host it at home and as one of his de facto godmothers, I led the preparations and invitations. Boy, it was tiring but fun! He even had a slumber party afterwards with more than 20 kids (mostly coursins and friends.)
