[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I’m so surprised that people just want to spend holidays with their immediate family. I’m with my immediate family every day. The holidays are special because we make memories with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins![/quote]

I tend to agree UNLESS there’s flight travel involved, which is hectic and expensive during the holidays. We spend holidays with local family and fly to visit others during non-peak times[/quote]

Exactly. I would add that any flight or extended driving can make these holiday gatherings miserable. If your family is within a 3 hour driving radius, then sure, a family party sounds lovely and fun! [/quote]

Agree with this point.  And OP said her inlaws are 45 minutes away!  They could go there for a few hours and still have half the day to do what they wanted as an immediate family or with friends.[/quote]

I think it is so much easier when you have to make an appearance for a few hours. You take pictures, you air-kiss everyone, you help out some in the kitchen or for clean up, and you are done. [/quote]
