Least you got some decent shots?

Was it the first or second time this event ran? If it was an early iteration maybe it will be better next year.

Do you rotate with someone else? We just rotate though the parents (one year we go to my parents and the following year we go to J's parents) XD Hosting a lot of people sounds exhausting x_x J can manage the logistics for it (and has done for parties including catering for multiple and very different food requirements!) but me not so much, and then on the flipside it's my mum's jam, every year she hosts a huge Christmas party which I swear half the island turns up to (maybe not quite but not far off XD though this year we're having a quiet one as she doesn't really feel up to it after her mother passed away just a few months ago).

This weekend was kind of hectic, I had plans but they kind of got compressed into what ended up being a very late night (and I didn't complete enough of the things I was trying for) as I had to run and deal with a minor emergency (someone clicked on a link that they shouldn't have, but there's only so much that could be done on a weekend).

I feel it was the first, but not sure. It is not a bad idea if the weather is good and there is now on the ground. Might be better to have it in January where it is more guaranteed.

My sister-in-law. They have a smaller place now so it gets squeezy with so many people. Their older kids are married now, so spend every second one away at their respective spouse's places. This is the one where everyone is together.

My condolences. The first one can be hard as it changes the dynamic and it brings back a lot of memories. A quiet and reflective one might be a good idea though.

(someone clicked on a link that they shouldn't have, but there's only so much that could be done on a weekend).

I dislike these kinds of emergencies a lot... Good luck!

Thanks! Everything has turned out well so far (the potential compromises we were most concerned about mitigating were apparently most probably safe/unlikely to be able to be acted on by idiots) and I'm really freaking exhausted and don't want to do anything more but my sister is absolutely adamant that we have to change the passwords right this very second just in case, even though I pointed out that at no point were login credentials asked for never mind given/stolen.

It's waiting til after dinner (because that's just how logistics have ended up working out) and only if I can con J into driving because I'm probably at a level of being dangerous x_x
