Every year there’s a trip I don’t want to make, or visit that last a day or 2 too long. I just tell myself there will come a year where there are no more trips to take, and it won’t seem as appealing as it might seem right now.

Maybe this was already answered, but do you not have vacation days you could have used this week?

Christmas is more for your kids not your sister. Got any pics?

Women are irrational as frick. Even when you think you make a breakthrough, they will find a way to be irrational about something else. It is comforting in their nature to be overly emotional and irrational. Just know that whatever you do in this situation it will be the wrong move and you will never win.
Merry Christmas

It is not bad. At all. After about 40 years of traveling on Christmas Day…as a child opening presents at 6 am then riding in a car for six hours to get to grandmas, as a young married person seeing three sets of parents and driving two hours to grandparents house, as a young parent dragging the baby through that same process…we said no mas. We see everyone on Christmas Eve and stay home Christmas Day. I cook a ham and a lot of sides and who wants to come, comes, which usually consists of my parents and sometimes my in-laws. Never been happier and the kids love it.

It’s not. I have spent most of Christmas’s alone.
Sometimes it’s the best thing all things considered.

I am a big fan of waking up in my own home for Christmas. I just like having that time with my kids and not sharing with anyone. We go to my in-laws later on during the day for a late lunch and open presents but then we are home by 7pm.

I don’t take it a certain way when she does it. Again, she will be here in January, like always, kids in tow, and won’t drive the four blocks over here or to see our parents.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but I’m not the one who started complaining. I’m not saying that makes my decision right either. But she’s being a real pain over all this. Not to mention she’s got my other sister in SA bringing her 6 kids over for a drive.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

i mean there is absolutely nothing wrong with simply spending time with your wifes family over christmas as opposed to your own. my sister is spending christmas with my BILs family instead of ours. but i would tread carefully when it comes to having a specific christmas get together afterwards with your parents as that would again, be hard not to take in a personal way

Perfectly acceptable to stay home with your wife and kids on Christmas Day. You do you. We usually do Christmas with both sides before. Now that we have families of our own

9 hour round trip drive for Christmas ? Hauling gifts there and even more crap on the way back home ? No thanks. Just FaceTime that day and pass the phone around to everyone and let them talk.

You're not obligated to drive 4.5 hours. Besides, you're visiting in-laws in SA that should be sufficient to placate your sister unless she's a nut.

Assuming you actually like your family, sometimes you just have to suck it up and do stuff you don’t feel like doing. Family, just like any meaningful relationship, takes work. That being said, sometimes you have to know when to take care of yourself and just do you.

I am staying home on Christmas Day. My parents are going to my brother's house but it is going to be very crowded. I am going to watch a ball game and chill.

Wut? My parents are the ones who suggested this.
In your eyes, I’d be a dick for not spending time with my family at my sisters, and I’d also be a dick for spending time with my parents.

have absolutely no fricking clue how you even came close to that takeaway but alright
