I can't explain how it finally clicked for me, but the day I realized walking into my mother-in-law's house on Christmas Eve was ruining my children's holiday experience because I was so miserable from the get-go, I knew I had to do something different.
While it's incredibly difficult to remain stoic if you're dealing with a toxic in-law situation, there's a big difference between reacting because it's necessary and reacting just because you feel ready to blow.
You have to go into the holidays with a good attitude, whether they're coming to your house or you're headed to theirs. This isn't about taking any kind of toxic abuse; this is about choosing yourself and your own happiness.
