Does your family not respect your boundaries when it comes to the holidays? Or are they simply following boundaries that you allowed early on? Meaning, early when you first got married did you and your spouse go "home" for the holidays alot? Now a few years later do you wonder why your family keeps asking you if you're coming back for the holidays?
Communicating with non-military family members about your families plans for the holidays can be difficult. Making sure you clearly communicate what your plans are, and why they are the best decision for your family at this time, can make the holidays less stressful.
