I'm not sure how she would be able to contribute to the wedding expenses and take this trip. We need to discuss that.
Ok great I didn't think you necessarily did mean that but I wasn't 100% sure. Probably I'd speak to her and tell her you totally understand why she wants to do a mother daughter special trip but ask her whether she would consider delaying it due to finances and also her daughter being so young. I'd say possibly her daughter felt left out when she wasn't involved in your time in Paris and your fiancé is trying to compensate.
I definitely would tell her how you feel a bit hurt that you won't be spending either Christmas or Thanksgiving together. She may have no idea the holidays mean so much to you. My bf couldn't care less about Christmas and we've spent quite a few apart, with work commitments etc. It's best to let her know now how you feel about the holiday period so possibly in the future she can plan for an alternate time. What would you generally do over the holidays? Do you spend it by yourselves or with family? My first thought was she may be trying to avoid a family get together lol.
