I wil say, once routines and boundaries (for lack of a better way to put it) are established, things do get a bit easier.
On a final note, I don't know how close both sides of your families live to you guys, but if they are relatively close, holidays present a whole new can of worms........lol good luck! But seriously, these are "good" problems to have - remember, there are A TON of worse things that need to be delt with by others.
Holiday's are crazy! My wifes family lives about a hour and a half away while my family lives 15 minutes away. Fortunatly we have been able to juggle who to celebrate each holiday with. For the most parts its worked out. You would think that 3 years into a marriage you would be able to have a routine down on this area. But you have to remind yourself to be flexible.
