[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they actually sit down for dinner?  Is there a place for everyone at the table?  Are they done with dessert by the time you get there?

If there's not a proper meal served, I don't really understand the point of going there for "Christmas dinner", when there's no actual dinner.   Can you do dinner with your family?  Do you travel to see these people?   I'd plan for a meal elsewhere, and then like a pp suggested, just show up with a dessert to share with them.

I think for most people the focus is less the food than the sharing of the meal.  I'd honestly be more pissed/disappointed that there was no actual meal than that the food was gone.  Even if there was enough food for us, it would be weird to sit and eat it if everyone else had already gone ahead and eaten their food without us.[/quote]

OP here.  I agree!  Thank you for some valuable points.  FWIW, I might write an email to Mil.  If it was in person, it would just be a volley of feigned ignorance, which gets old quick.  So please keep the great ideas coming.  I need all the help I can get.  I have not yet decided if we will go, but at least I can say something.  For DC's sake.  I don't want them to see that the other grandchildren get treated differently.  Though I think they already might :( [/quote]
