GD - on the holidays, my thought is if your W invited you and you thought she wanted you to go, ok. But just in-laws, I'd pass.
This has been my approach so far, even if in-laws invite me to something and W says its ok. I am trying to figure out what she wants. I guess I will have to run this drill again soon myself as W said in our JC session Tuesday of this week that she assumes we will all (meaning me, her and our kids) be spending the holidays together (Turkey Day and Christmas - not sure about New Year's or Chanukah).
