[quote=Anonymous]This all seems like a spouse issue not in laws. In laws don’t dictate what you as a family do. PPs gave a lot of good ideas. But many/most seem to be targeted at making changes where spouse wants things to stay the same. Also having BTDT and made changes in how we celebrate holidays, I can say it isn’t always as great as you expect. I mean, Thanksgiving is just another dinner if you spend it with your nuclear family - except that it’s an huge undertaking where you do all of the work - and we do that most nights. So Im happy to go to a family celebration. As for Christmas, it took a few years to find the right balance where we really enjoyed the holiday - but definitely spending the morning at home was the best right from the beginning. Anyway I hope OP and any others who are struggling with it find a happy medium and enjoy their holidays. [/quote]
