To just not want the in-laws visiting again?

We’ve seen them 4 times already this week, and my DC had a sleepover at the weekend. I should mention, I really love them, just as much as my own family.
Would I be unreasonable to ask my DH to say no?
Our house really isn’t big enough for two more people visiting (when they do visit I have to do something elsewhere in the house) and they will stay forever. The only complication is that we are going away for Christmas and therefore DH asked MIL if we could do a second Christmas Day when we come home, and she seemed excited.
This is a “visit to drop off gifts” but we really can’t take anything else as everything is packed and we are ready to go. I feel mean just saying no, but at the same time I feel like 4 visits in 4 days is a lot and they should keep back their gifts for our second Christmas. We have things to get done and I just don’t want another visit. AIBU to get my husband (he agrees with me) to just say no to them?

Tell them it won’t work logisticslly with your already-made schedule / plans but you can’t wait to see them on x day. That’s the truth.
