My husband and I have always tried to keep the holidays as equal as possible with Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve with one side and Christmas Day with the other. We now have come across and extremely inconvenient and problematic situation. Since Christmases on my side have always been at Grandma's house (an hour and half away) that is where we do Christmas Eve, when it is our turn with them. My husband has to work at our church's Christmas Eve service until almost 7:00 p.m. then we are now expected to load up two kids (5 & 14 months) and take them out of town for approximately 2 hours to turn around and come back home for Christmas Day here. My aunt and uncle, who care for Grandma, won't budge and move the celebration to my house or my mom's here in town. What should we do?

I think life is to short to be in a fuss all the time , tell you aunts and uncles that this year you will remain at home and your house will be open for visits or not from them Tell them you are starting a new Family tradition and it will remain this way until the children are some what older. They may come or not you can have the Christmas you want and isn't that what it is all about Family, put yours first
