[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  when you say you will be out of sync with your siblings etc., does that mean that your siblings travel from elsewhere to be at your parents for Christmases when you spend Christmas with your parents?  What are the reasons exactly why your husband's parents and brother don't want to spend Christmas with you at your house? [/quote]

I'm curious about this, too.

I'm also surprised by how many people are taking her side. I don't think it makes any sense to commit to anything more than a year in advance, but OP's argument seems to be that she wants to be in her house and her husband's is that he'd like to be with his family. My immediate reaction is that what he wants makes more sense and is kinder to the whole family (but that may not hold if OP only gets to see the rest of her siblings every other year at Christmas).

We have always traveled at Christmas -- three kids, eight hours on the road. I say that to point out that it's not an epic feat, but I realize that it may be more than some families can handle if they want to maintain any sort of Christmas cheer. (I do not miss nursing at rest stops.)[/quote]
