No law says you have to celebrate the holiday on that day.

I agree and that is what I've done with my parents in the past.


It's mainly this pressure I feel from his parents(mainly his mom)to attend in some way around my schedule. I hate making everyone else fit it around my schedule. Just do it when it's best for most of the family...if I can go great, if not...it's really not a big deal. I've worked the night before a holiday and gotten no sleep the next day so that I could attend and I'm asked all day why I'm so quiet or if something is wrong.
