Dear Dáithí: The thought of Christmas at my in-laws' depresses me

Should I insist we go to my family this Christmas or should we go our separate ways for the day and meet up again after Christmas?

Dear Dáithí, My husband and I have moved back to Ireland from Canada this summer. I'm from Cork, he's from Dublin, we live temporarily in County Waterford, renting for the time being.

We didn't know each other before we met in Vancouver but it was instant attraction that led very quickly to a serious relationship. We got married within two years of meeting each other and have a beautiful daughter together now.
