I can't handle two sets of parents with health issues for the holidays!

I feel for you!!! You might remind your husband that this year isn't as easy as the previous five years. Perhaps one of his sibs could host his parents this year. You could drive to visit his side of the family Christmas Eve and host Christmas Day for your parents at home. If every sibling (including your husband, excuse me, you) provide a dish, the hostess won't have to cook absolutely everything and that will lower one stress level.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!!!

Gosh this is definitely a double whammy! I guess I can say is that your husband probley feels the same way about his parents as you do yours---put yourself in his spot.Even tho you are an only child ...he stil loves his! However, he does have other siblings.Perhaps he could talk to them, surely they understand YOUR situation. I sure would not want to be in your shoes--I might even order ut from Micky D's! Good luck dear your gonna need it! Carol
