[quote=Anonymous][quote]Again, OP hosts IN HER OWN HOME already. This is about OP "getting" this particular holiday, with her Inlaws. Not about hosting in general.

OP here. How does me hosting my family sometimes equal my kids having a sleepover in our basement with their DH-side cousins? How does it equal “spa” time in my home with my SIL, who loves the jacuzzi at my house? How does it equal basketball games in our driveway with BIL?[/quote]

Op, you're being ridiculous.  Now it's not about sharing hosting responsibilities, but about how much better your house is than MIL's?  It just proves what I was thinking that it's not about traditions or starting your own, but really you just hate going to MIL's house and you want to take over hosting.

Because what now?  Let's say everyone comes to your house for T-giving and loves it (like you say).  Will you do Christmas? and Easter too?  I mean if everyone really loves your house so much more than MIL's, then they'd prefer to come to your place for all the holidays, right?[/quote]
