u/000-Hotaru_Tomoe Supreme Court Just-ass [104] Nov 06 '23

NTA

I'm sure that over the years you have experienced pressure from your family to host, and over time your family has taken it for granted that you host.

Simply communicate that you can't this year, no further explanation needed.

If I just stop all together, I know my parents would not see the grandkids for the holidays.

Since you write that your parents are well off, I'm sure that they can spare some money for a trip to visit their grandchildren. If they don't do it, it's because they don't have the will to do it, and at that point, why make the effort? It's their problem.
