[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for (sort of) explaining.  I was one of the truly baffled PPs who couldn't understand the whole set up.  So, if I understand, there's not a sit-down dinner.  It's more like buffet, but even with that, no one really sits at a table to eat (no room) so more like an appetizer type party but with dinner-type food?  Now it makes sense.  And when you get there, everyone is standing around mingling with plates in hand and buffet table has scraps/crumbs.

Now that I understand, I want to offer another bit of advice.  You mention that a day or two after xmas you go to other family and they feed you.  Are they close enough where you could go there first - for like a late lunch type meal?  then head over to MILs afterwards?  I'm guessing that it's not really a holiday type meal at MILs anyway since there's no where to sit, and you have to manage you and your kids meals.  Or like others have said - make a nice lunch at home - a big holiday lunch/brunch and have them fill up on that before heading to MILs.  Don't get there early just to get a piece of the dinner.  don't think of it as a Christmas dinner.  think of it as a holiday party.[/quote]

Oh, my family is across the country, kind of spread out.  We see them during summer.  It is easier on the DC.  I wish they were closer - now that is Christmas!  OP here. [/quote]
