Dress up like Santa and meet him there... :-)) Then tell him that you will be at his house on XX date for Christmas Dinner. Christmas doesn't have to be ON Christmas.. It's in your heart..

Not everyone celebrates christmas.
Not everyone has family.
Not everyone has family that they get together with; transplants that cannot afford to go home, estrangement, kids in the service station 1/2 way around the world.

It seems like sacrilege to some, but it's a place for some to 'belong'...and not be alone.

Really, BRP, it's none of your business!

Your son doesn't tell you how to run your life and he is old enough for you to stay out of his.

OP already decided to stay out of it.

In our family Christmas stretches over about a two week period. It's not a day, it's a Season!

What's Bad we was told we was told to come for Dinner and Gifts tomorrow evening. My wife calls DIL asking what to bring. She had no idea what my wife was talking about but figured we could do it.

Holy Moly would I be put out if I was DIL and hubby had made these plans and forgot to tell me--- but I'd probably forgive him if he made lots of money, lol.

They have done things like this before. They want me to go down take kids fishing, clean fish and have a fish fry. I told them I got out of Church at 12:30 would be there at 2:00.

Get there our Son is cooking. DIL says what do you expect when your 5 hours late getting here Woman I have not got the foggiest what you are talking about?

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

If you have a history of miscommunication, it would be a good idea to make sure it's firm and clarify dates and times right up front.

These things happen to you regularly and I often wonder if they feel they are considering options (we should try for this date) and you understand it to be a firm date.

You need greater communication with your family rather than seeking sympathy.

Thing is Son says we will do this. Get there DIL has no idea, Son says I told you but guess you weren't listening but it will be ok.

I guess you will need to get into the habit of always double-checking with DIL in advance to make sure everyone is agreed on the same schedule.

That would be the logical thing to do.

I think it was Liz Taylor who is credited with "money is the worlds greatest deodorant". So very true!
