[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you on team MIL, when does OP get to host? When MIL is in a nursing home? What if Op’s kids are then married and want to host themselves? It’s perfectly natural for adults to want a turn to host a major holiday. [/quote]

If MIL is especially attached to Thanksgiving, it would be kind to let her host. OP can do Christmas, New Years, or Easter. [/quote]

I have a feeling the mil is attached to all of those holidays too. Mine is.

When we got married we asked each set of parents which holidays they wanted and the both said, "all of them but especially Christmas". Sigh. My mom hosts a huge Christmas Eve party every year but doesn't see that the guests aren't enjoying it as much. Her friends have confided in me that they wish it was the Saturday before Christmas or every other year so they could see other family or events. My kids have never spent a Christmas morning in their own beds since we have to travel so far. We're putting our foot down this year and I know there will be heartbreak. But dh and I grew up remembering santa coming down our own chimneys and want my kids to experience this. There's so few years of santa magic![/quote]
