.. to think that all the 'I don't want to spend Christmas with the in-laws' threads seem to be very late this year?

I joined Mn for the first time around this time last year and found AIBU before anywhere else. I'm quite sure by this time last year AIBU was full to bursting of threads dreading the Christmas visits - but this year nothing. Have you all decided you love each other after all?

Check again - there are loads of them!

Global warming, I expect.

at Andrew - there are loads but some are in the Christmas thread. I like them as they normalize my own situation

Maybe all the MN answers last year were so good that all the problems have been sorted.

There a loads of them...please don't encourage any more!

I am quite nervous-my dss and his lovely wife have invited us for Christmas.I do hope they aren't regretting it.....We take an air bed and bedding and we will help as and when needed.I will provide the Christmas cake and puddings as well as some wine.I hope its not a 'duty' invite.

There's LOADS OP - you're obviously not reading AIBU quick enough and they are dropping off at the bottom!
