[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for being direct. You don't have to be hurtful, just tell a limited version of the truth. And it's fine to say "sorry" - you can be sorry that you're saying no, sorry that you're HAVING to be so explicit, sorry for whatever reason - they don't need to know and it sounds nice. I'd use something like "Actually we make a point of family only vacations pretty regularly. We're using going in a bunch of different directions so we try to protect at least the vacations." Then immediately change the subject to something that invites discussion "Did you hear the principal is retiring/Janie broke her arm on the playground/Susie beat cancer...."[/quote]
