My boyfriend and I have officially been together for almost 3 months. He invited me to spend Christmas at his Aunt's house. Is this a good or bad sign? I am really nervous. What should I wear and what can I talk about with them?

I would say a good sign...he cares about you enough for you to meet his family. Take a deep breath in before you get into the house...and it should all go smooth...be yourself and wear nice pants and a dress shirt_

This is a great sign!
He wants to sport you in front of the most critical bunch of jerks he knows LOL
no, now just calm down.
what to wear.
it is a festive day! a dark skirt.. not short. a pretty short sleeve blouse that has your favorite color in it and is the most comfortable thing you own. Believe me you are going to be at your tip-top behavior so the last thing you need is to be tugging at your shirt. and I say short sleeved because you don't want to get too hot if auntie has the furnace blasting to keep gramma warm. wear flatter shoes ones you can kick off . brush your teeth 5 times a day from now until then! PASTE A SMILE ON your face until you leave. wear a pony tail with a tiny christmas decoration in it.
What to talk about:
DO NOT BABBLE .
first thing you'll get is something to drink. Thank the hostess and offer to pour your own and everybody Else's.be of high spirit.and Praise every ones clothing. when they say you look nice don't go all over the place, just say thanks and smile. most people have unusual decorations ask about their children and if one belongs
to them. a pet? nice homey feel to her house? tell her right away as you walk in the door.
Keep in mind they will ask you what you like and about YOUR family .be ready. chew with your mouth shut,dont hog the dip. EAT before you get there,dont wind up the kids and dont try to shut them up.
what to bring:
something that represents your Christmas at home and your mom's favorite flowers in a Christmas ribbon....say these are from my family to yours. That's a huge hit.
and you girl... just be yourself. he likes you right? then other people will too.

Just try to relax. It's just human nature to be a little nervous when meeting new people. Ask your boyfriend to stay by your side as much as possible. That should help you to relax some. god bless.

This is good, it means that he's not going to break up with you soon and that he wants to see what his family thinks of you. FIRST IMPRESSIONS are a must. You've probably seen at least one movie where the boyfriend is introducing his girlfriend to his family and they hate her because she seemed like she was stupid or something.
You can't MAKE them like you, but I bet they will want to like you. Wear a smart and slightly conservative outfit, you don't want to look like a hooker or something. Just a pair of jeans and a pretty sweater with a matching scarf for a belt would look nice. Make sure the outfit says "you" and not "poser" but it's something that adults would like.
When you meet the family, just smile and say "hi". it's as easy as that. be in a good mood, and it's ok to say that you're nervous. I'm sure they're just as nervous. Act normal, and don't break anything! Also, when meeting someone it's always good to say that you've heard about them. Don't go out of your way to lie or anything, but if he introduces you to (for instance) his sister and he once told you that she likes to knit, just say "I've heard so much about you! (your boyfriend) says you like to knit!"
good luck!!!
P.S. Make sure to say "please" and "thank you" a lot!!!!!

It's a good thing, he want's you to know his family. You should be yourself, just try and be comfortable. Remember it's better to underdress then overdress, Christmas, maybe a sweater, or a dress if your confident. Find the clothes that make you comfortoble, and just be yourself, that's why he chose to introduce YOU, as he knows you, your personality.

Too early...Careful he may be too dependant on family which is a bad sign. You need more history in order to withstand the scrutiny of his family. Certain cultures are emotionally incestuous

just wear something nice. dont wear anything to skimpy or they may get the wrong first impression. when you get there greet everyone be very polite. dont act snobby or that could be the end of it. i think its the next step in your relationship but if your not ready you have the choice to go or not.
