PG>Great news about the babies, bad news on the timing.
PG>I understand COMPLETELY about the mother-in-law demanding you to be 
present.
Well, it's more the SISTER-in-law...she remodelled her house (added 3000
sq. ft. to a 900 sq. ft. house!). It's finally finished, so she decided
to host Christmas to show it off. If we don't attend, we'll be toast for
the next few years... Unfortunately, she lives in Chicago, we live
in Detroit--there's just no easy way to get there with baby birds.
PG>Options:
PG>   Change religions
PG>   Change husbands
Nope, I like Christmas, and I like my husband.  I even like the
sister-in-law, I just don't like driving to Chicago!!! Even without the
added pressure of caring for infant conures...
PG>or, pray for a highway shutting snowstorm!  (less controllable, less
PG>long-term impact.
Ooooh! Good idea!!!!  Hey, it could happen, right?
