[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would invite them during the holiday break, but wouldn’t they want to be with their family for Christmas Day? No gift for a dating situation. If you are feeding him, isn’t that enough?[/quote]

+1  My mom was irritated that my now-MIL invited me there for Christmas dinner when DH and I were dating in college (we had been dating a little over a year at that point).  Attending dinner would have required me to leave my family on Christmas day and drive 3 hours to DH's house.  I said no and went the next day instead.  My mom never said anything to me about her irritation until after I came home.  In hindsight, I can see why my mom was upset because extending the invitation means that you are asking someone to skip out on their own family's celebration, especially if the kids are in college and the parents are likely looking forward to seeing them for the holidays.

Families would want their kids home for the holidays but a young couple may want to be together as well. No? [/quote]

This.  And while I may want my college kid home for Christmas, I do not want him or her there only because he or she is not invited to his or her SO's house.  If my kids would rather be with their SOs for Christmas, then I want them there.  [/quote]
