Asking your advice on handling stressful holiday relatives

You guys are the most respected group I could think to post this question to. Here goes:

Three years ago I was strongly disrespected by my wife's father. We live in separate states and every Christmas he and his wife want to get together with us and pretend nothing happened.

I think he should apologize in order to move on, in fact I even extended the olive branch a couple years ago and no apology still.

Looking for the wisdom of the elders on how I may feel at peace moving forward and not have a rift with my wife every year at this time.

I really don't want to feel that I NEED anything from him to not be angry.

Thanks and happy holidays to everyone.
