I need a little help and since this is the Holiday forum, perfect spot for it. How do you decide between your family's and the in-laws? My mother and I have spent every Christmas together and since my daddy passed away a few years ago, it is really hard on her near the Holidays. Hubby wants to goto his family. His parents are divorced, so that means 3 seperate Christmas'. Our son is going to be 3 and understand Christmas and opening presents, and all. I don't want to take that away from my mother, but he is insisting this year. (We have been together 6 years, and we have always done his family on Christmas Eve, and Thanksgiving.) Any advice would be greatful!!
