[QUOTE="katya02, post: 329301, member: 2884"] Sorry I'm so late coming to this, Nomad. I think most extended families have set ways in which they organize and interact, and trying to blend the styles of two big families for more than one short event is probably doomed. I had plenty of frustration in years past when trying to have everyone together for big, happy holiday events. People became irritable when things weren't done 'their way' and it was easy for the event to go downhill. I finally decided that separate celebrations worked better. So I agree with you, I think that's the way to go and you'll be far more comfortable. Hopefully you can arrange things with your son and daughter in law so as to see them at some point near the holiday and alternate celebrating on the actual holiday year by year. [/QUOTE]
