We will probably have the traditional Danish Christmas and set a place for mum as well.
(Our sweet mumsy passed last month)
This year is at our place. That is us, our 3 kids, their spouses and children, plus my sister, her husband and 2 adult daughters. Who may or may not bring their boyfriends. Min of 17 people.
My main stress is how to store the food as we only have one fridge.
When my parents were alive, we always did the traditional Christmas lunch-the pork, chicken, ham, hot veggies, plum pudding etc and continued it for a few years but then after my brother died (2014), my sister & I suddenly looked at each other and said- it doesn't have to be that way any more, we can do what suits the younger members.
So now we have the pork and ham and chicken but with salads. None of the younger adults will eat plum pudding so we just have pavs or cheesecake or whatever,
And always Christmas crackers, that's one tradition we won't give up.
Christmas day will be a slightly "quiet time" for us this year. We are doing the European Christmas thing where everyone arrives before dinner on Christmas eve, open gifts, have a great supper and then they go home to have an Australian Christmas the next day .. ... 
In previous years we've done the Australian thing but want to do it differently for 2019.
Not sure what we are doing BUT ITS SAD........Our little girl is all grown up and flying solo to Europe in a few days time. She will be staying with the family of an international exchange student after they became friends at school last year. Christmas for the daughter is planned to be skiing at the snow somewhere so a genuine white christmas. My christmas will be spent worrying that she is OK and safe.....
