[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep the interactions short. Minimal language. “We’ve made other plans for this year. How about we get together at our house the Saturday after Thanksgiving.” Rinse and repeat. [/quote] This. Don't tell them the plans. Just say you have plans, and offer an alternative get together day. "We'd love to see you for brunch on Sunday if you're available!". I would have your DH tell them this. But I think I would have also had this conversation with your DH BEFORE the in-laws had reached out about Tday. It sounds like you've discussed it some, but not how you would respond when invited. If you can't get out of Tday, ask your DH to make it clear that Xmas is off the table and then make other plans. [/quote]
