[quote=Anonymous]I honestly wouldn't try to change their minds. That just feeds the anxiety/I Want Attention spiral. My SIL is like this. She's really anxious about so many things. She finds a way to make every single drama that happens in the world about HER. So at the root of it is an endless need for attention. I'd just say "I'm sorry to hear that, we'll miss you" and never bring it up again. If it's really an anxiety thing, there is no reasoning them out of it. That's a mental issue they need to address on their own. If it's a cry for attention, not giving them attention is the best thing you can do. Then you go about making your Christmas awesome for your kids, even without the grandparents. Find local, loving friends who might love to join your family for some Christmas outings. [/quote]
