This sounds like it's a good compromise. As somebody else who has worked many a Christmas though, I think you should do what you want. However, if you establish a new tradition, it will affect your in-laws' tradition, and that may be a
good thing. If we stuck to tradition without introducing a wrinkle now and then, we'd all be getting oranges in our stocking and horshound candy.
I know when my family went to the 2 Christmas paradigm (morning at home, afternoon with the grandparents), I was quite possible the most overjoyed kid in the world.
