[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay home if you want to. If husband wants to take the kids, he can. People can be upset about it if they want. I'm not seeing the problem. [/quote]

Presumably the problem is that OP would like to spend the holidays with her husband and kids. Duh. [/quote]

It sounds like (or maybe OP is just projecting) the kids would like more chill time at home on holidays, in which case stay in your jammies on Christmas. Let the kids stay in theirs. If her husband wants to swing by his parents', fine.[/quote]

Op only talks about what she wants. She wants to be in pajamas and she doesn’t like going there. Not clear where the rest of the family stands.[/quote]

"eat Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner IN MY PJs while letting the kids be silly instead of dressing up and having to manage them so they have good manners for their guests."

It's reasonable to think the kids would prefer not to be in a situation where Mom has to ride herd on them. Although I would stop and let the spouse handle his kids at his parents'[/quote]

My kids prefer a holiday with lots of people and a party. Otherwise its like every other weekend. Sitting in pjs doing nothing? Nothing special about that.[/quote]

Is this OP?[/quote]

Obviously not. But it’s not “reasonable” to conclude kids want to sit home and do nothing on a holiday.[/quote]
