AIBU not wanting MIL popping in Xmas morning?

I really don’t want MIL round Xmas morning. She wants to pop in early morning because apparently that suits her.
Reason I don’t want her popping round is she is so judgmental! She always says how messy the house is and if I’m not looking great (I have bad skin) she makes it clear ... last time I opened the door to her, her first comment was ‘JEEZ LOOK AT
YOU’ I just want to enjoy Christmas morning with my little family and not worry about her coming round! DH says I am being overly sensitive etc...and that’s just the way his mum is and she doesn’t mean to be mean blah blah..
MIL lives 2min walk away from our house
Can’t my DH and my son pop to hers!? Really want to put my foot down on this one as it’s my home and i want to feel happy and relaxed on Christmas morning! AIBU?

Ignore her. Busy yourself with children and whatever needs doing. Leave DH to do all the mother interactions. Make sure he knows you might explode if she's rude to you so he manages her closely.
