[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH actively wants to spend Christmas with them and you don’t celebrate Christmas, it is pretty mean-spirited of you  to actively try to prevent it. After all, it is just another day to you. I mean, he said he wishes to see them on Christmas, and your kids don’t mind it. What is your problem?[/quote]

I agree.  Do Dec. 24-26 Xmas with grandparents, then go on your vacation Dec 26-Jan 1st.  That's 6 nights, plenty of time![/quote]

Seriously! If OP doesn’t celebrate, she has no reason not to want him to celebrate in the way that is meaningful to him and his family. They can go on vacation on Dec. 26. Either the date of Dec. 25 holds significance to OP, or it doesn’t. She and her family of origin do not celebrate this holiday, so Dec. 25 is just another day and there is no reason why DH shouldn’t be able to celebrate with his family if that is what he wants to do/chooses to do.[/quote]

Her reason is: she'd rather do other things and that's valid. [/quote]

And that reason doesn't trump her husband's wishes. She has 364 days a year to do "other things."[/quote]
