[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at what point would you plan a trip to visit the side that did NOT get Xmas? 
We stay home for TGiving but plan to alternate Xmas. Should we plan to visit the other side in January or is that 'too soon'
For what its worth MIL is the type that once you do something, it is now a tradition that must continue  :? [/quote]

At NO point would I be planning to visit the family I didn’t see at Christmas. For the love of Pete, why is it on you to then do the visiting? Are you seriously suggesting that you visit one family during Christmas and then pack your bags a few weeks later to visit the other family? That’s just ridiculous.

NP here. This is kind of what happens to us. MIL visits for Thanksgiving. My parents come for Christmas. Then FIL and Step MIL expect us to fly to them after Christmas. They are the ones that expect us to travel at the holidays and are the ones who never visit us, despite the fact that they travel nearly every weekend somewhere. It’s really frustrating but I want my kids to know their grandparents so away we go.[/quote]
