[quote=Anonymous]OP- I'm in a similar boat, and came up with the exact compromise PP mentioned.  We're "sleeping" at his family's home Christmas eve only.  It blows my mind how even some of DH's siblings want to spend whole days with everyone crammed into their parents house making gingerbread houses and playing board games and doing puzzles.  They say the "crazy chaos" is "part of the fun."  Um, when I can't find a clean place to sit, and am constantly pulling small objects or candy out of DC's mouth (DC is the youngest grandchild by far, everyone seems to have forgotten this phase), it isn't any fun for me.  Good for you doing it for your husband, though.  I hope he appreciates it.  Maybe come up with a list of things you'll do/buy for yourself after the trip.  That helps me get through some of the rougher moments.  I may get flamed for shallowness, but it helps me keep a smile on my face, and the truth is I've never actually followed through on any of the things I've promised myself.   [/quote]
