We celebrate the holidays in our own home... you are always welcome to visit.

When our oldest got married a few years back one of the first things I emphasized was not to stress over fitting us into their holiday schedules. Instead, visit when they can and if it's before, on, or after a holiday then that was just fine. For years I battled the "we went there last year" and "we haven't gone here since" so I didn't want her to worry about that. Of course I want to see them on the special days but keeping it simple and easy seems to be less stressful for everyone which is appreciated by all. We are very close to our families, included the extended families.
:CLAP :CLAP :CLAP Exactamundo!!! The exact day or date isn't the issue...it's the being together that's the issue.
I also agree with MacDaddy's approach. This is when it is...can't come? Maybe next year...bye.

I just pick a date, location and time, whoever shows up does and whoever can't well see ya next time. We stopped all that catering to each person because we could never ever ever ever agree!

The good news is that my family makes watching election results seem stress free!!
