There are so many options here to get the family together, as PPs mentioned, but I would not implement a single one if neither my sister nor my mother was courteous enough to tell me plainly what the problem was!

I think they are all being very disrespectful, frankly. They expect you to divine what the problem is, feel guilty for not having guessed it years before, then scuttle away out of sight? Ridiculous.

So call up your sister and ask directly. you can then suggest different solutions to stay all together at Christmas.

See, it sounds to me like OP's sister has told her what she wants. But rather than engaging with her (because OP doesn't want to change anything), OP is basically playing dumb and refusing to respond substantively unless someone forces her to. But then OP paints herself as a victim because her sister won't actually tell her she's upset with OP's behavior, when OP is being at least as passive aggressive by refusing to engage.[/quote]
