we had a rule....once my child was born anyone that wanted to see us christmas day came to us....I refused to drag her away from her "santa claus". Christmas eve we went to see my ex's family because they were smart enuff to have the family gathering that day instead of on "the day". With Dave.....one side of his parents does it the weekend before christmas...the other side does it christmas eve so we dont have to drag Amanda away from her stuff (she's 12 now) Anyone that wants to see her or us xmas day is more than welcome to come by our house, which is what my parents do (they live out of town). Some years they elected not to do it and they didnt see us. Which was ok because my parents did they same thing and they understand.
I do not see where it is fair for a family to expect their grandchild/niece/nephew...whatever to get all these really cool gifts and have to give them up "just to visit" when the road travels both ways
