I know what you mean. My sisters and I (and our families) always get together for Christmas, but its generally the Saturday after the 25th, because we've all got kids and grandkids of our own to spend Christmas with. Even that's getting harder- one of my sons moved 4 hours away for work last summer, so they won't be coming over this year (and his inlaws came up from Texas for the holidays)- but we had Christmas with them 2 weeks ago.

Remember, your kids inlaws are pulling at them too, and take the choices they make gracefully. By being disagreeable, you make their choice easier next time, if you get my drift.
