Wow, I am absolutely floored right now. Monte's family did Christmas last night and no one invited us. For the five years that we have been married they have always done Christmas on Saturday evening, either the week before or after Christmas. Monte talked to his dad last week and he told him one of the brothers was coming in on Friday. Monte said we wouldn't be over on Friday because we had NYE plans, but we would definitely be there on Saturday for Christmas. Last night his brother texted him when he got into town and asked if we were coming over, but no mention of specifics. Monte figured it was just to hang out and told him we had other plans. I posted a check-in on FB last night and my other SIL commented on how they missed us, but hoped to see us sometime today. I didn't really put it all together, but Monte said this morning that he thinks they celebrated Christmas without us. Sure enough, his brother called a bit ago and said they are going to a local state park if we wanted to come. They clearly did Christmas last night and no one ever bothered to mention it to us! I am guessing everyone just thought someone else told us, but I am still just so hurt and upset about it. I am really angry that my kids missed out on one of two times a year that they get to see their cousins. I can't even imagine communicating so poorly about something so important. How do you just forget to invite someone to Christmas?

Re: What the frick? ILs forgot to invite us to Christmas!
That's really strange... I would definitely ask about it. Maybe they feel like you didn't ask them about their plans because you didn't want to join? Who knows. YIKES. I'm so sorry!
