OP it is most likely your Mother would be told you could not make it. I would show up anyways with a large poster board, and the following message (knock on the window or get their early to intercept): "Merry Christmas Mom. <brothers name> and family kicked me out of the party." Stay there until the end of the party.
Odd passive aggressive take her....Midwesterner ? Or perhaps my overly aggressive approach is too "old school thinking", cuz there's zero chance anyone would be keeping me away from my mother for a holiday.
I say show up OP, and show up an hour early. Go in with your Mother at the same time. Do not tell them your are coming.
