Sarah...what about taking DH's family WITH YOU to WDW? I know that doesn't solve anything for your family. But they must all be having a hard time with the losing her and instead of buying gifts for each other you could all get away together to the "magic of the world" and enjoy your time in a different setting that might not be so hard to deal with. I know the first Christmas after my mom passed away was really hard (actually the first anything was hard). This might not work, but I thought you might want to have DH consider it.

Horned Toad!!
I don't think they will go. i can probably get FIL and SIL, but his family is huge and very close. I think they will need the traditional way we've done things. FIL and SIL can't afford to go. I thought about paying for them, but we really can't afford that. It is a great idea. We need to talk about what the plan is going to be this year. Lately FIL has been ducking out of a lot of the traditional things we always do (like fireworks this 4th, she LOVED them).
Christmas Eve used to be held at the inlaws house, so I was thinking af offering to move it to our house if FIL doesn't want to.
I think this is a very complicated issue that can't be resolved on a message board!

Oh well. Thanks for listening everyone!
Do you think I'm being selfish? I really want you to tell me. If there were more days b4 Christmas it would be more okay, but I fear cutting it so close.
We don't HAVE to go, I just feel like January was an antivacation, and this year has been so tough up til yesterday when DH got the new job. He's going to have to take classes to get his master's, so taking a vacation is going to get very hard to do in the next couple of years.
Maybe we should just go somewhere closer for a shorter trip, so we know we'll be home...but I REALLY want to go to WDW.
