DEAR ABBY: Every Christmas, my daughter-in-law makes plans with her family on Christmas Day when they come in from out of town. I cannot remember the last time we had a Christmas Day with our son. We are not even invited over for a cup of coffee. Any suggestions? -- UNHAPPY HOLIDAYS IN NEBRASKA
DEAR UNHAPPY HOLIDAYS: Yes. I think in the interest of fairness, those Christmas Days should alternate -- odd years with one set of in-laws, even years with the other. However, if that doesn't work, an alternative might be to invite everyone -- including the other in-laws -- to your home. If you haven't talked to your son and DIL about it, you should.
