[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do what we did when we had children and told parents that we were having major holidays at our house and starting our own traditions and they were invited to arrive 
 Dec. 22 and leave Dec. 27.

My new traditions were to have big Christmas dinner on the 23rd, a quiet Christmas Eve with last minute gifts, etc.  Christmas morning breakfast., Open presents.  Christmas afternoon buffet with Left overs and a standing rib roast.

Nobody ever complained and everyone was happy.[/quote]

Same. I always hosted and said whoever want to join can. I never thought it was fair to give just one side Christmas. I've had my parents yearly, siblings, aunts and uncles, best friends. I actually wish my inlaws would come visit for Christmas. I think that my inlaws thought that if they didn't come visit me and that they spent it at home, that their other kids would visit them on Christmas with grandkids. But the other siblings never had grandkids and my inlaws have missed out on grandkid Christmases. [/quote]
