[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]If we spend Christmas with my family, we arrive Christmas eve, then spend Christmas day (because it's my aunt's birthday) and travel to see DH's family on the second day of Christmas for a 2nd Christmas.
If we spend Christmas with DH's family, we arriva Christmas eve and leave around noon on Christmas day to be with my family for dinner (for my aunt's birthday) and come back home on the second day of Christmas.[/b]
I love the years we get to spend at home. No traveling. I can't wait for 2017.[/quote]

This sounds terrible.  One of the greatest things my mother ever did was to let me know that she did not [i]need[/i] to see us every christmas, it's just a day and we have plenty of other times during the year to be together.  We alternate with DH's family.  My parents come to use more often than we go to them.  It was an adjustment for my MIL as DH's siblings so a lot of driving and splitting days just to make sure there is Christmas face time with her.  I'm so glad we drew that boundary early. [/quote]
