[quote=Anonymous]If your parents realize that your oldest is old enough to "get it" now, then they should also understand that wow part of Christmas is to make the little kids happy, not to create a satisfying experience for their adults. (Not all families may agree with this.) It's not fun for little kids to have to attend a string of high-expectation get-togethers, especially in places that are not familiar to them. It's fine to travel to share holidays with members of your family if you need to, but it's definitely fair and okay for your and your DH to decide what your own Christmas celebration is going to be. When your kids are grown, what would you hope that their memories of Christmas are like? (Answering that question myself was not easy but has made a world of difference in enjoying holidays.) Good luck, OP - it's not an easy thing to navigate, especially when old hurts or score cards pop up.[/quote]
