[quote=Anonymous](I know this is early but we're making our Christmas plans now.)

If you all go away for Christmas to see wife's side of the family (across country), do you still have to have a 2nd Christmas with husband's closer/ 4 hour drive away family? I ask because normally I'm just stressed and over Christmas after traveling and visiting for a week. I normally just need to decompress and relax and it's very stressful to have to travel again the second we get home.

Husband's closer family will keep calling us and saying "let us know when you want to come up and celebrate!"

Wife's family that's across the country gets upset that husband's family technically is still getting Christmas yearly (as well as every holiday since they're closer) and makes bitter comments about it. On years we don't get to see wife's family, they just mail gifts or we don't exchange presents which is much less stressful.

Is this unreasonable to only want to do one Christmas a year? How would we let husband's family know we're not coming for a 2nd Christmas? [/quote]
