I'll be honest with you because I'm a little merry. I go to my mum's house every year because it makes her happy. I eat her roast lunch. I eat her pudding. There will be a day where I'll miss doing that but I'll also be at home eating prawns and pudding and barely leaving the couch. You are not alone. Hugs to you. 🫂
Me too. If not for my kids being so excited I'd have given up long ago and spent the day in a hotel or something. MIL and Mr Peeler have never gotten along consistently well and always seem to have a ripping argument on Christmas Eve and I'm the meat in the sandwich, trying to soften things up and focus on the kids not getting upset about it 😕
I find this time of year incredibly stressful and am just waiting for it to be over.

She also says "I fucking hate Christmas".

Sounds like they need to get liquored up and settle it in a makeshift boxing ring with rellies placing bets /joking
Or you and the kids can go to a separate area to do another activity and they can just go at it
