[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if your in-laws always get Thanksgiving, your family should always get Christmas.  That's what we do -- I'm Jewish, DH is Christian, his family always gets Christmas, so we spend our Thanksgivings with my family.

And I'd try to get your DH on board with at least making room for you: "DH, I know how much you love spending T-day with your family, but it's so different from what I'm used to that I feel like an outsider.  Can you guys make a little room for my traditions -- can you ask your MIL to let me bring a dish to serve during Thanksgiving dinner and/or some wine to share?"  [/quote]

OP here. Yes my family feels like they should always get Christmas because his family gets Easter/Thanksgiving and birthday celebrations. DH and his family don't see it that way. Everyone pretty much wants Christmas. It makes my family very bitter.[/quote]
HUH? Do you and DH feel to have to spend every holiday and birthday with one side of the family or other? Do you ever stay home or do something by yourselves???[/quote]
