Wow. It is totally possible to be disappointed in plans changing or in not seeing your child on a holiday and not be a demanding unreasonable mother. The OP was disappointed that's it. She wasn't demanding anything.
For some reason her son wanted the big family Thanksgiving. He wanted to do that so they did. Maybe so everyone could meet his gf? He wanted to do a Christmas a certain way and then suddenly doesn't. The OP thought their plans for the holiday were made and suddenly they are not. It doesn't mean she thinks anyone is wrong or the bad guy just she is disappointed.
It takes some doing sometimes to find a way to celebrate as a family and fit everyone's schedules and expectations of the holiday. But it also takes time to plan. Last minute changes can throw big kinks in these things. And cause the disappointment the OP is feeling.
