The other thing that is probably contributing to the generational divide and lack of understanding here is that when the mother was her daughter's age, she was probably in a far better position to host family and events. This is presumptive, but previous generations were able to buy houses and move into their own spaces far earlier in life than those now in their 20s and 30s are able to. Whereas our parents had families, we have adult roommates who we can hardly expect to put up with our entire family—even if we own the home.

They often also did this on one income, with the other spouse not working at all and devoting their time solely to household matters. This made hosting events all that much easier without a full-time job to worry about. Show me families that can afford to do this in modern times.
It's hard to say with the perspective and information the mother provided in her post, but we know that the daughter has just moved into her new place (I'd still consider July to be recent, given the way this year is going). As a result, I'd conjecture that the daughter is hardly in the wrong here. As one commenter noted, it's a bit sad to see the mother putting the responsibilities of hosting family holidays above the point of the holidays themselves. Besides, normally, it takes far worse behaviors to get someone banned from family gatherings.
