[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I grew up with having just one grandparent alive on one side and then later the other. They were never left alone at a holiday. In your shoes, I would travel to him this year, and then talk about having him move closer to you. In the future, unless your brother has siblings, yes, you need to host your FIL for both Thanksgiving and Christmas each year. How awful to be old and alone on a holiday. So basically, this year, start with your friend trip, but fly to your FIL on Christmas Eve, spend Christmas Day with him, and then fly out back to your friends trip the day after. ...if you can afford this. I wouldn't leave FIL alone on Christmas.[/quote]
