That is a great idea!! This is what I try to do. We try hard to "split the time" as best we can but we live near my H's family and mine are a 9 hour car ride aways so we don't see them as much. When the opportunity arises for us to see my family we usually take it because we spend birthdays, Easters, etc with those who are local.
My in laws and my entire H's family are very conservative and I am very liberal. With the recent political scene the way it's been, things can get strained if anyone brings up politics. I am not one to not speak my mind so i have to be very careful this year to "keep it zipped"!!!
