[quote=Anonymous]It’s too late now OP. Someone needs to talk to her just after Christmas about this pattern and now it actually makes Christmas worse, not better. Then identify ways the family can scale back or help. But I think the idea that someone else hosts is the best idea. Another thing: look at what “traditions” people take for granted. How much work are those traditions for your mother? Can everyone agree to drop them? My MIL is like this. Having someone else host helps immensely. Also breaking my FIL of all his silly ideas of “must haves”. It turned out a lot of the pressure was from him, but she blamed it on everyone else. [/quote]
