Dear Robyn and Skippy;

My girlfriend and I have been in a serious relationship for almost 2 years now and we’ve hit that wall that everyone runs into and no one can solve to the satisfaction of everyone.  Which family do you spend Christmas with?  She would like to be with her family.  I’d like to be with mine.  Both our families expect us to be there.

Whatever happens we know that we want to be together for Christmas.  Both of us are Christmas people.  We love this time of year and everything about it.  We don’t want to ruin the feeling forever.

Her family is in Michigan.  My family is in Arizona.  How can we find a way to make everyone happy and preserve the Christmas traditions.
