Been doing just that and blogging about it if you would like to read and get some fun ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.

As a mom, grandma and also a daughter I am going to try and be kind with this reponse. But I am so tired of hearing all of you young families complain about having to make your parents happy during the holidays. First let me say that all of mine and my husbands parents are gone and I would give anything to have to worry about who we were going to spend the holidays with. Secondly, your parents who are only asking for a little time are the ones who created wonderful holiday memories for you as you were growing up and, without those memories, I am certain you would not be so fond of holidays as an adult. Lastly, as a parent your turn will come when your kids dont want to spend time with you as they are just too busy and will someday say to you "If you want to see us you come to our place, we are too tired to make some efforts for you" even though you spent your entire life as a parent making efforts and sacrifices so your kids could have wonderful holiday memories. So I say, stop being so selfish and self-centered and be sure and include your parents and inlaws in the holiday events, even if it means a little extra travel, inconvenience etc for you. It wont be long before you dont have parents to worry about...
