This year for the first in 5, we are not hosting Christmas.
We are having a big family meal on the 23rd, providing everything.
We are then having our own small Christmas.
We are then hosting nye, again providing everything.
Saved up loads for the above.
My sister has been making noises about having everyone round hers for Boxing Day. It's a faff for us as we have a 3 month old and a 'spirited' 21 month old, but we were happy to make the effort (high chair, ds toys, plates, changing stuff etc) as dsis rarely hosts. Her house is also the least child friendly I've ever come across - think raised marble fireplace, splintered floorboards, ornaments everywhere.
Was told today she wants us to bring our own food and drink.
Which tbh feels like she wants the benefit of seeing everyone without going to any effort. We don't have the extra money to provide food and drink for someone else's party, plus the effort involved has just increased.
Aibu to not go? DH doesn't want to either.
and yes I know it's an invitation not a summons but she will not be happy and will not understand
