[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH actively wants to spend Christmas with them and you don’t celebrate Christmas, it is pretty mean-spirited of you  to actively try to prevent it. After all, it is just another day to you. I mean, he said he wishes to see them on Christmas, and your kids don’t mind it. What is your problem?[/quote]

She literally said in the OP what her problem is…. There’s nothing mean spirited about wanting to spend time with your immediate family or go on vacation. Yeesh people. [/quote]

OP didn't say she wants to spend time with her own family, just that she wants to go on vacation instead. Yeeesh, pp.[/quote]

No. She said she enjoyed Christmas at home with her kids. If she hadn’t said she wasn’t Christian/didn’t care about Christmas and just said she wanted to celebrate Christmas at home with her nuclear family, none of you would have a problem with it.  Instead people are calling her all kinds of awful names for no reason. [/quote]

I think she enjoyed the not traveling to in-laws part of Christmas. Not sure OP, a nonChristian, was telling us she enjoyed Christmas.[/quote]

So this part of her op: “we spent Christmas morning at home and the kids and I agreed that it was awesome.” is entirely negated by her not being Christian?  Some of you are being way to nit picky and harsh here after the last what 2 months of endless DCUM posts about hating in laws at the holidays. [/quote]

In the context of her not wanting to travel to the in-laws, yes, it is negated.  She doesn’t want to travel, and guess what? She found not traveling awesome. This post isn’t about celebrating in her home. Her post is about vacation[/quote]

Goodness again with the reading comprehension issues. Her post included vacation AND spending time as a family at home as options for Christmas.[/quote]

She’s already said Christmas isn’t her priority. Her post is about it traveling. Not sure what you are missing.[/quote]

Read her OP again. You are the one missing things. Some of you should really look in the mirror with the vitriol you’re spewing. [/quote]

Kindly, take a look at the title.
