[quote=Anonymous]We also have will-not-travel ILs who live 3 hrs away and my family across the country. Once we had kids we established that we go to the ILs for Thanksgiving, we stay home for Xmas and anyone is welcome to join us. Which ends up being my parents every other year (they alternate with my sister) and never my ILs. We either drive to see the ILs for New Year or later in Jan for FIL's birthday. The ILs so hold the kids presents until they see us, which is fine with me. OP - I think you just need to get over your objections to the ILs "doing Christmas" in January. What harm is there? To me the annoying part would be hassling you about when you are coming. Make a plan and stick to it. E.g., we'll visit the first long weekend in January and then your DH needs to shut down the nagging. [/quote]
