We live in Germany, my parents live in a flat under ours (it's a bit more complicated than that, but it sums it up) This will be our 3rd Christmas since living here.
First year we went back to the UK, and spent it with DH's family. Last year my BIL came over here and so I cooked Christmas dinner, my parents did have the courtesy to ask if they could be included.
This year, no-one is coming over and we're not going anywhere. My Mum made some flippant comment about what she wants me to cook for Christmas dinner. After digging around a little, she is expecting me, to cook, pay and host Christmas dinner for all of us.
AIBU in cooking a Christmas dinner that I want to eat, and DH for that matter, and my parents can get what they are given, even if I know full well they would prefer something else or perhaps not like it? They have invited themselves, but literally want everything doing for them and want to be catered for at my expense. If they would have asked even just out of courtesy I would probably feel a lot more accommodating.

AIBU?
Sorry Christmas related post, demands without invitation.
