Your daughter is still quite young and probably won't remember this christmas when she's older so it might not matter to her...

However, you are your own family now, you want to start your own traditions. It seems a little unreasonable for your in-laws (and it doesn't sound like your parents are doing the same thing) to insist on getting you the entire day.

While it'd be preferable for a child to spend time at home, rather than being out in the cold etc... can you meet them half way -- go for brunch at the inlaws then go home. or just arrive later for dinner

You could also suggest alternate holidays if you wantt o visit your family.
