We are contemplating spending Christmas Day with my SIL, her DH and their DC. Our DC love their cousins and they have a huge house with arcade games and enough space for us all to stay including Mil and Fil who live near to them.
We live four hours drive away and our only reservation is that we will probably spend £100 each on our DC but SIL and her DH are very wealthy so they will probably spend lots more on their children like they have in previous years. Obviously their choice. But what would we do about Christmas morning? It would be awful for our DC to sit through their cousins getting far more presents than them and I can't think of a solution.
We have thought about waking up at home and then doing the four hour drive on Christmas Day but it doesn't sound like much fun for us or the DC who will have to leave their new toys behind. We don't fancy staying in a hotel nearby and doing it there so not sure where that leaves us. What do you all do?
