[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting how so many on this board are totally fine with the scenario OP described. Maybe I just come from a different culture, but skipping Christmas Eve & day with the extended family in order to go on vacation would NOT fly. Nor would I ever want to do that. But everyone has their own cultures, traditions, and families. [/quote]

This forum is full of loners, strivers who secretly hate their flyover country family, and non-Christians.

If you see your family every Christmas, you're enmeshed! [/quote]

Let's pretend you have a grown child and have maintained a healthy relationship with them.  Let's pretend that you, without any guilty, offer to host the holiday every year for your kids and grandkids.  Sometimes you do it at your home, sometimes you ask for input and pay for a destination getaway.  Your child (and then his spouse) chooses to join you every single year from when they are 18-43.
