[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a few guesses where your husband might be from, but still, this is just too much! Does he celebrate Xmas? Parents stay at your house, but everyone else must rent an airbnb. I mean, really! It is just too much. [/quote]

OP here- he’s Polynesian. They’re all Christians and celebrate Christmas.

I’ve contacted family friend and told her that her cousin can’t stay because it will be too crowded. She said she will look at air bnbs, don’t think she is too happy about it. It’s difficult because her cousin had already booked a flight to our city. I guess in this situation someone is going to end up being upset. [/quote]

Everyone will be upset at you. You should have not gone back on what your husband told them. Buy an extra air mattress and call it a day. This isn’t worth ruining Christmas over.[/quote]

It sounds like Christmas is already ruined. She gets to play maid.

I see OP’s point and why she’s stressed. But also - I come from a culture like this. All the women will help in most any way. You just need to have ingredients on hand. It isn’t as stressful as hosting in a traditionally American way. Just saying, although like I said, I get why you’re stressed and don’t want this for Christmas. I also would feel the same after marrying outside the culture and getting used to being less communal in that way. [/quote]
