The kids would love to go and it would probably be the easiest way for them for our first Christmas not as a couple. I think celebrating while I have thought about it as an option has never crossed Hs mind, so I rather don’t bring it up. I know it sounds crazy, but being with my parents over Christmas does not sound that attractive to me. We get along very well and I love them, but being with them without H seems harder then being all by myself. Maybe it is because they are no longer very fond of H.
Christmas is a horrible time to feel alone. If you can be with people who love you, then do. And like you said, it would be easier on the kids. Sometimes a distraction is necessary.

If you don't want to hear your H being bad mouthed, explain to your parents before you go that you are there because you need time out from the madness of your sitch. What you are after is space to clear your head. If they can't give you this, then time with them is not a distraction. It is more of the same.
As unwanted as this journey is, you are on it, and this journey is about detaching so you can be a better you. You cannot detach if you allow people to fuel your anger.
