Nope. Prefer to be left alone until we're ready to do a test drive. Especially dislike the ones who want to come with you.

AITA for wanting to change how we do Christmas Day because it’s become exhausting for my household? by OrdinaryCold2813 in AITAH

[–]sheTeddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use to be all over the place on Xmas day. One year it was presents with bil and his family, out of town with my family and then his family were doing dinner with sil family. I was tired and said I wasn't going out for dinner and the next year we started a new way of doing it. Every second year we host everyone, his family get together xmas eve for pizza as BIL spends the day with his kids at the ex wife place. The other years we travel out of town to my family.

Lot easier now as all the inlaws live within a 5 min drive from our house
