[quote=Anonymous]Be proactive and set something up with them. Here are a few options to consider: “We’re finding that the holidays can be overwhelming for us. We need our time to be focus on one set of grandparents at a time. So starting this year, we’re going to set up the following schedule: —“We’ll do Christmas at Sally’s parents’ house and then have you come to us at our house the second week to have a separate Christmas with the kids. Then the next year, we’ll do Christmas with you and have the delayed Christmas with Sally’s parents.” —“We’ll do Christmas with you at our house, and then the day after Christmas, you’ll leave and Sally’s parents will come visit. Then the next year we’ll reverse it.” The point is to tell them that they will get some time with you, whether it’s at your place or theirs AND that it might not always be on the exact Christmas Day, but that it will alternate.
