Don't feel guilty that he is going to get flack, and don't feel guilty that he chose to spend Christmas with you instead of your parents. He's a grown man and he chose to spend it with you. He is probably aware that he will get grief for it; rejoice in that fact that he loves you enough to deal with that.
As far as your feelings of satisfaction for having him instead of your parents...your parents chose to estrange themselves from you from what I understand, so they are only reaping what they have sown. It may sound harsh, but they chose to split the family up when they disowned/estranged themselves from you and Sissy. If their holiday seems a little less cheery, they only have themselves to thank. Just my opinion though.
I hope your Christmas is a little bit brighter this year than in years past, Gilda!
