[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some years I need a break from the pressures and traditions of Christmas with my in-laws. The driving force for my mil is her memory of Christmas from when she was a child, but she now wants her non-Christian daughter-in-laws (not her own sons) to continue her childhood dream. My husband has no desire to take up the responsibility so we alternate years and do our own thing, which is relaxing and allows us to have memories of our own, in our home. For the people who say you’re not even Christian so what’s the big deal in just showing up for Christmas- it is exhausting to have to fit into someone else’s Christmas childhood fantasy-tradition.[/quote] What we're saying is the OP should honestly acknowledge her motivations and reasons. Her rationale doesn't really make sense.[/quote] It doesn’t make sense to you because you think Christmas should be spent a certain way. For people who didn’t grow up with that mindset, Christmas could be spent however they please, without it needing to make sense.[/quote]
