Talk to them and tell them them what you would like. I know that a lot of people stay at hotels when visiting relatives because they don't want to impose. Maybe they want to have a mini vacation when they visit as well.

They may feel more comfortable in a hotel. That way you and they have privacy. By the way how do you know the ones whose answers you dont like are freaking americans. You cant assume that. If you want to be treated nice dont call people names. Have a good day and Merry Christmas.

Well I'd let them stay in a hotel if they are more comfortable there but definately they should come over for Christmas. Maybe then you could go to Disney with them?

You don't have family issues. You have selfish issues. They coming from Philidelphia to see you. That should be enough. Why not combine activities and other things while they're there. I'd do the same thing. I don't like staying at others homes either. Be thankful they're coming, that you have a family and that they can...afford Disney.

If they don't want to, they're not going to. Don't push them. They won't like you for it. You can still have a great Christmas together without them sleeping in your house. So, let it go and get over it. Enjoy their company while you have it.

I think u have to talk to them directly...tell them that u want them in ur home for christmas...let them know how u feel and ask them why they dun wanna spend it with u, maybe they have their own reasons for it....either way, be upfront is better than making assumptions abt it.

maybe they feel like it's less stress if they stay at a hotel and they may want to tour the sites while here.Then again,when they do come to your home,let them feel how much you missed them and want them around for these holidays and they just might feel your sincerity and decide to stay a night or two.just be your self and show your love regardless of their decision and don't take it personally if they don't stay.

Be grateful that they're willing to stay in a hotel. Less of a mess for you to clean up after.
