Feeling torn between families every Christmas

Is it just me or is Christmas just really stressful deciding where to spend it and who with and it always feels as though you're letting someone down?

We've usually take it in turns to go to my parents for Christmas Day and then dh's parents the following year. That then means spending Boxing Day with the Other set of parents. It basically means living out of a bag and spending a lot of time in the car. Now we have a one year old and tbh I just can't be bothered with it anymore!! Decided we are doing Christmas dinner in our house and anyone can come to us. Now of course neither set of parents want to come here and I'm being made to feel selfish and guilty for just wanting to spend the day indoors without driving for ages and upsetting dad routine.
How do other people work this? Can't seem to find any way to make it uncomplicated!
