[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate because my siblings also had children much earlier in life than I did. I spent years and years traveling to see them for Christmas and buying gifts for every last kid. Now I have small children and we go up for New Years so that we can spend our own Christmas together. They are always invited to join us, but don't like to travel much. However, we have created our own traditions at home and I love waking up and having a lazy Christmas morning with just our kids. You need to let go of your sadness about the way you grew up or the way you wish things would be and make your own way. You've already seen that they will change traditions to suit themselves, so you're foolish to keep trying to force them to change back. Soon some of the cousins will marry or move away and they won't be participating, either. So you're better off developing your own traditions that you can keep going for a while.[/quote]
