Eh, I don't think it's so weird. BF and I aren't spending our first xmas together, either. Tonight we're both doing the sides of our family that are very small, and tomorrow are our respective bigger sides where we'll see family members we don't see often. And our hometowns aren't close enough to make it possible for us to be together. 🤷‍♀️

With no kids involved I don't think it's such a big deal. Both girls seem to be very close with their families, and if they're okay with it, then whatever. They did their own little early celebration/gift exchange, and it looked really cute!

My husband and I were high school sweethearts from a very small town (<1000 people.) His parents divorced when he was in high school, and even though they can act civilized now, it was a very messy divorce and they both acted horribly and put the kids in the middle during the divorce. We tried to do family Christmas’s when we first were married, and then tried a rotating “turn” for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They would get jealous of any time we spent with the other or with my parents. After we had kids, I got tired of all the pettiness. My husband I told both our families that we would always spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our house with our kids, and no one could come visit us. We would make time to see them on other days over the Christmas season, but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is just for each other and our boys. It has worked and saved many troubles over the years. I am sitting here and so glad we worked this out years ago, and that my husband agreed with me. If Taylor continues to insist on her always being with her parents only every holiday, it will lead to issues eventually and I can’t imagine it doesn’t make T2 feel like she doesn’t actually care about her. But, really, every couple has to work out the details someway, and I guess if it works for them, I shouldn’t care.

Yep, I agree! There is enough stress around the holidays, this removes at least a little bit!

I have a question! What if you moved to live with husband whose family is right down the street and your family is states away? Then wouldn’t it be acceptable to always go see your family on major holidays because you constantly see his family on a weekly basis? Or would that be pulling a taylor? 😆

This is kind of a tough one, but obviously both need to compromise. Yes, you see his family often, but it's still a holiday. I am moving back to my hometown (within minutes of all my family) soon, which is just 4 hours from my husbands family. I am thinking about next Christmas and know I won't want to go see his family, but kind of have to since we will be with mine so much and they won't really be that far away. My one stipulation will be that my son will be able to wake up in his own bed/house on Christmas morning. 

Could you offer to celebrate Christmas with his family pre- or post the actual holiday, then spend it with your family? I know many people who celebrate the weekend before or even postpone until New Years, which is actually fun. (My ex husbands extended family celebration was NYE and it was always a blast because it was a good mix of Christmas and New Years celebrating. He also had an awesome family... but I digress...)

His family is very, to say it kindly, self centered. So if I offered to have a Christmas early, they would kind of “how dare you” or go along with it, but still expect my husband to be there. No kids yet, so no problem there, but one day it’ll be an issue. He still spends Christmas with them...I don’t fully mind but spending actual Christmas together for once would be nice, however neither of us want to budge (side note: I do have the fun big family. They’re bland) cest la vie!

Midnight mass would be celebrated wherever you would go, so that should not be an issue.

This sister wives comparison is killing me 😂😂

Does she do anything that doesn't involve drinking?

 
Let’s give her a little credit, she naps too.

I was watching old episodes of RHONY last night and it dawned on me - why doesn’t Taylor get an intern like Sonja Morgan? Free labor (or maybe a set, cheap rate based on milestones) to manage her social media and blog (because we all know how that’s going to go - the last week is a prime example) - there are SO MANY colleges in nyc and because the intern would be starting with a pile of dog shit it wouldn’t be hard to jazz it up and have a resume builder. I would also bet she could find a student to help with her webpage. My brother went back to school for web/computer techie things and a ton of kids were getting little internships like that just for the experience. Just a thought - Taylor are you listening😘

And yes, I realize she’s not celebrity status like Sonja Morgan 😉

Maybe Pickles is available 

Yeah, definitely not a good look to not shower and have hair styled for promotional video stuff- it's to worse to admit it, though. Honestly, I wouldn't probably notice if she didn't mention it, but once she does I find myself studying her hair to see if it looks dirty.  She is wearing the same stuff over and over again, but she did say she gained weight on the hiatus- depression and stress will do that to a girl- so you are probably right that maybe stuff is not fitting so well right now. But that's alright- rotate the stuff that is fitting, and if she does great hair and make-up honestly most people wouldn't probably even notice if her outfits are repeated, they will just think about how great she looks......

I think it's all a big circle. I don't really care one way or another about her weight. It baffles me that she complains but doesn't get (or care about) the cause and effect of drinking and weight. The more she drinks, the more she will gain weight (and I know when I used to drink, it made it a lot more fun to eat so I did it without thinking about what I was putting in my mouth, i.e. pizza after a night out; stopping at Taco Bell; etc.). If you start drinking at 5:30 every night, that's a LOT of night to leave open to drinking and eating.

And, you are all absolutely right about the showering vs. clothes fitting. When you don't want to put on your clothes that don't fit, it's much easier to stay in your comfy clothes, which in turn makes it easier not to shower (yes, I speak from experience!) 

All of this to say that if she is promoting her new show, she should probably continue to bring her 'A Game' like she did whatever day it was when she had her hair done and makeup on (last week?). If she just does that, leaves her hands off of her face/hair and doesn't make duck lips, she could do a great video!
