[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thinking about the resentment.  The constant resentment they have against DH or I or both.  You can cut the air with a knife, the resentment is so thick.  PP, do you have this from your family, also?  I'm sure their resentment, if it is there, helped with your successes?  Did you ever tell them what you really thought of them?  I don't want to give my ILs the satisfaction, but in my head, on the drive over, I really tell them off sometimes.  Boy, would they love that.  I won't give them the satisfaction.  I am fairly certain that the BILs know exactly how I feel.  But they don't speak up for the same reasons.  It is so freaking awkward.

So OP, honest question - why do you go there at Christmas? What are you, your DH and DC getting out of this?

You can keep doing the same thing and get the same outcome or change it up and get a different outcome. It's not as if MIL is suddenly going to have an epiphany and produce more food at Christmas. If you do want to visit at Christmas then it seems to me that eating somewhere before hand is the easier option - less visible, solves the hunger issue, allows you to focus on the visit rather than the meal.
