OP - With at least one other child, it is time to establish "House Rules" for all of your adult children and/or spouses or girl/boy friends.  You are not the chief cook and bottle washer.   I think a simple email to all siblings saying that you have come to realize that if you want to enjoy the holidays and time with your family, it was time to establish some ground rules for all.  And post and go from there.  To your college-aged son you might also add that since his this Christmas is perhaps an extended visit, you do want to be clear on a few points that it will not be like Thanksgiving, which the previous poster listed quite clearly.

***And there definitely have to be clear expectations and rules if this youngest son is to return home in May after graduation while looking for a job or whatever on just lonw or even if he is welcome and what the rules of living there would be.  It will be a real change for "junior," but remember you are in control of the car keys so if he wants to get the use of your vehicle, he can abide by your rules.
