DEAR DIANE: As the holiday season is rapidly approaching us, our in-laws are already starting with who is going where for what holiday. My husband and I have been married four years now, and it’s the same problem every year. His parents want us there for Thanksgiving, and my parents want us over there for Thanksgiving. So we usually argue for a few days over where exactly we will be spending Thanksgiving, then finally come to some kind of agreement, only to have our parents to deal with about our decision. It gets so crazy! That’s not to mention how it gets for Christmas, and New Year’s. They argue like .cats and dogs. His parents don’t get along with mine, and mine aren't fond of his either, so for all of us to get together would never work. By the time the New Year rings in, I’m ready to ring out! I’m so tired from running to everyone's house. Please, if you have any solution, let me know. I’m willing to try anything at this point. HARRIED DEAR HARRIED: I have a hot news flash for you. Neither you nor your husband are

obligated to spend the holidays with either set of parents if that’s the way they carry on. While we all like to think of picture-perfect, Currier and Ives type holidays, for most of us, that’s just not the case. Do yourselves a favor this year Have a nice, peaceful set of holidays by yourselves, or invite some close friends if you really don't want to be alone. When your parents protest, you can tell them why you’ve decided to do things that way. Maybe that will jolt them enough to start acting like adults instead of spoiled children fighting over a toy! Good luck and happy holidays! Send letters to Diane c/o King Features Weekly Service, 235 East 45th Street, New York, N.Y, 10017.
