[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't blame you. My ILs expected us to spend every other holiday with them since we spend Christmas with my family. Finally, I had to say that we wanted to create some of our own traditions in our own home. I let them know that they are always welcome to visit, but with both our work schedules & two small children, it was just too difficult to travel. BTW, we haven't seen them in two years now since we stopped making the effort to travel to them. They're retired and have plenty of money. There's no reason they can't visit us.[/quote] You spend [i]every[/i] Christmas with your family? No way would I be doing that and shutting out the ILs. God, I hope my son doesn't stand for something like that when he's married. [/quote] NP. If PP's IL's don't celebrate Christmas, why WOULDN'T they spend Christmas with the family that celebrates the holiday? (As long as they get "equal" or "equal-ish" time together, overall?)[/quote]
