And I don't believe its a matter of letting her flirt all she wants. Again, my home, my rules. Don't disrespect someone in their own home.

And then there's the issue of the son's wife flirting with someone else! Yeah, doesn't mama bear want to rip this hussy's eyes out? Its like uhm, ok, you can eff with me and that's one thing, but if you eff with someone I love, its a million times worse!
I agree, I think canceling this particular get-together is the best bet. It's SO close to it, there's no way anything is going to get resolved before the holiday. If it were me, I'd lose it the instant she started being too attentive with my husband. Honestly I'd try to sit down, just the four of you, and hash it out. Maybe in family counseling so a therapist can mediate if any one of the four has a tendency to yell, scream, throw things, etc.
