I think it depends on how much you see each side of the family throughout the year.
For example, I see my parents about twice a month. They live only an hour away and are often doing things in my area. Since they see me and my fiance so often they don't feel hurt when we don't spend a holiday with them.
My fiance's parents live across the country and he only sees them about 3 times a year. So for Thanksgiving and Christmas it's a given that either we, or just he spends time with them.
This year we're hosting Thanksgiving for both families at our house and he is spending Christmas here with me and my family. He's not going It's not the norm for him to not spend Christmas with his family but it's just worked out this way this year.
