Trying to Balance the Holidays Between Families

I'm in a new relationship, and both of us want to take our significant other home for the holidays. The challenge - our families live on opposite coasts. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can make this fair and please both families? Both are expecting us to come home, and we are trying to spend time with our families without breaking the bank.

I just went through this! It was too expensive for us to fly to my partner's family for Thanksgiving (plus we didn't have much time off work), so we actually planned a trip to see them in October instead. We hosted an early Thanksgiving dinner with his parents and sister, and it was really nice, and it didn't include any of the stress or cost of traveling during the holidays. There's no perfect solution for how to divide time up, but at least we get to spend a holiday with both of our families this year. :)
