My husband is the only child and we’ve spent Christmas with my PIL every year since we’ve been married. It used to be just the 4 of us and quite nice because they do the cooking, we bring dessert and they always insist on us staying till New Year’s. Fine, all good. 2 years ago we had a baby and they baby proofed the house so it’s all set up for him too. Great, right?
This year we bought a house and my husband suggested that maybe because we have more space we could host Christmas at our place.
Well…. Didn’t things kick off…. MIL started crying and saying this will be a weird Christmas, FIL says he’ll miss cooking the turkey…. A drama scene really. All I said is that it’s only July and it was just a passing comment from my husband so we’ll see closer to the time.
I quite like the idea of having our first Christmas at home, obviously they’ll be invited too, so I didn’t really think all that was necessary.
Do you think they'll have time to digest this idea and be ok till Dec or will it be a Bah Humbug Christmas?
