We always have Xmas on our own - just me DH, DCs. Its lovely, we have our own traditions and customs and its a really nice day for us all to be together on our own.
For all the time we have been married (12 years) MIL has not featured on the Xmas scene (lives at other end of country, has other grandchildren nearby).
This year PIL died and now MIL has suggested that she come to us for Xmas . I am trying my very best to be sympathetic and kind but I am finding it really hard. I know that we can't really refuse but I am dreading the thought of a) someone else being around who doesn't get our little Xmas scene & b) the fact that she is might be quite sad some of the time and I am quite bad at dealing with that. I know this sounds really mean.
Anyone else had to deal with similar. Any tips about how to handle it. Did it go ok?
