[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Christmas BIG at your home and then go to the grandparents afterwards for the lame parts. If you want you can even invite grandparents to watch your kids open presents. [/quote]

Do this.

Have Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at your home, and do it the way you want.  It is utterly unfair to your children to deprive them of the family traditions you want to share with them just because your inlaws say you can't.

Go to your inlaws' house on the afternoon/evening of Christmas Day and celebrate in their traditions.

If your kids ask why Santa comes to them and not to their cousins, do what we do.  We tell them that Santa is very respectful of everyone's religious traditions, and only visits those families whose religious believes say it is okay for Santa to visit.  He knows who those families are because they put of Christmas trees and stockings and leave cookies for him that night.  If he doesn't see those things then he knows that they might not like him to visit this year.
