[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before we were married, Dh and I shared a home together, came home every night to each other, shared household expenses, had pets together...we didn't rush into marriage but   we certainly shared our life together. It would have been really strange for us to share every day of our lives together - to wake up and go to sleep with each other, support each other during hard times, eat dinner together every night...BUT on Christmas each go our own ways and separately and celebrate with our own families.

If siblings want to get together there are lots of other days during the year to do that.  But an established couple spends the holidays together.  Although I do agree that they should split their time between their families whenever possible.[/quote] we're not talking about a committed relationship. They're not living together and they're not engaged. I'm guessing they're about 20 and will have many nanny more partners before marriage. [/quote]

I don't know what their ages are and it doesn't matter.  Even in my 20's I wouldn't have expected my sister to ditch her boyfriend for me or demand/expect that she come with me to my boyfriend's house to have Christmas with his family.  INVITING them to do that is one thing.  An invitation is nice.  But expecting that sis comply and do as told is overboard.

Sis should go if she wants to go.  If she wants to make other plans she should.  If she wants Op to carve out a little sister time around the holidays - also fine.  [/quote]
