[quote=Anonymous]For a long time my immediate family household did double duty on Thanksgiving (and sometimes still do).  His family in Alexandria for the noon meal and my family for the evening meal. (The families wouldn't have mixed well together).

Well, now that I have more siblings married now, we are in the process of planning for this year. My SIL has announce that she will do Christmas with the Fairfax family and Thanksgiving with her Springfield family (that is Springfield, VA).  WTF? Is it too far to do both?  And there are multiple days to Christmas (and thanksgiving). I'm fine with my other SIL saying that, she's juggling New England and Fairfax (and my mom is fairly cool with that - she knows the holidays are tough, and g'ma/mom goes to soccer games when she can and other random visits).  Meanwhile, I'm trying to juggle inlaws now in Warrenton and my parents Fairfax. Suck it up and make all the parents all happy and show up to both if you can.  Besides, I want to see my nieces and nephews and my brothers. (because I have my own baseball games on the weekend and don't make it to yours on a "normal" day)[/quote]
