[quote=Anonymous]Are you hosting for both faiths? And doing most of the work? Regardless, you and your DH need to get on the same page as to how much hosting you're willing to do, how much travel, and what holidays are the most important for each faith, and then he needs to communicate the plan to his parents and you to yours. So, the message to both would be: "Mom, Dad, we're an interfaith family, and we simply can't adequately celebrate every holiday for both religions and stay sane. We've decided to do x, y, and z, but we'll be taking a pass on a, b, and c this year." And go from there. And, if they throw a fit, hold firm and let them adjust, just as anyone has to do when they say, "This year, we're staying at our house for Christmas" or any other kind of boundary.[/quote]
