Heartfelt sympathies, anon. It's really tough being the one who has to do all the work of visiting.

I had this when I went back to the country of my birth recently. Just about every single relative said "Oh, you mustcome and visit us." There are a dozen or so of them. I'm disabled and I made the plane journey with the aid of morphine and wheelchair assistance. And I still get guilt-tripped when I don't race around the country giving each of them individual visits.

The last time I did make the effort, through the snow, not even kidding, one aunt's parting words to me were "You must come and see us again before you go!" And since then I haven't bothered at all.

Maybe Christmas on your own would be preferable to busting a gut doing the duty visits? A sudden crisis at work, for instance. Car out of action. Or simple lack of cash. You deserve a bit of time off for good behaviour in any case, since you've been doing all the visits for years.
