[quote=Anonymous]This is our family exactly - one side (we spend Thanksgiving with them) is open and warm and lovely, with abundant food, some wine, lots of laughter and games. Pure joy. This is my Father-in-Law & Step MIL. The other side (Christmas) is the exact opposite. Absolutely no joy. Forced laughter. MIL is weird and controlling. Her boyfriend is kosher with lots of food restrictions. We bend over backward to make a compliant Christmas dinner and he only eats 1/2 cup of food. MIL is weird about alcohol, so no drinking allowed at all. Everyone's sitting and playing on their phones (even the adults). Horribly depressing. We live it up at FIL/SMIL's house for T-Day, and just hang on for the ride for Christmas. Play our parts and just 'get through the weekend.' The best part is a skype call to FIL/SMIL on Christmas morning when we all wear matching PJs! [/quote]
