[quote=Anonymous]You need to be flexible on the day. Christmas works out for us because my family only celebrates xmas eve and DH's family only celebrates Christmas Day. But, I have said this SO MANY times- The best gift my MIL ever gave me was not caring when we celebrated things. This year we had thanksgiving at their house the Sunday after thanksgiving and we are doing Christmas tomorrow. She has always been so "no pressure" towards us and it has laid the best foundation for my relationship with her. In return, I'm motivated to still make her feel special and we have several traditions now just for our family and my in laws (we all sleep over at their house for 3 nights Labor Day weekend, we do a summer vacation every other year, MIL and I take my DD to a play once a year). Just let the actual days go and still plan your holidays! It takes so much pressure off everyone. Your sons WANT to spend time with you. Make it easy on them.[/quote]
