[quote=Anonymous]I just want to vent about "low key holidays". My inlaws have an extremely laid back, low key Christmas. They serve snacks and appetizers and have an open house for everyone to visit from 7-1am. They love it because all their friends come and drink. Their parents and siblings/cousins no longer come because they are with family. I feel like I'm held hostage by their stupid laid back holiday. I want a real meal. I want to be surrounded by family, not their friends. I don't get why they can't have their friends party the weekend before Christmas like everyone else. I want my kids to have fond memories of Christmas Eve and I want it to be about them. Instead we put them to bed before it even starts. Everyone is hung over on Christmas and no food appears all day (hence their low key holiday). We open presents around noon after dh's siblings wake. My kids are hungry and want to open presents. I want to stay home if they aren't making a big deal about Christmas or letting kids open presents at the crack of dawn. I want an over the top amazing holiday. I hate how dh goes along with it every year. I feel like my kids are short changed. Oh yeah and we all sleep on the floor.

Yep I get it. I'm an evil DIL and a doormat.[/quote]
