Honest answer to me anyway, mean, you could maybe should have worded it differently, as in; I would prefer not to go if you feel very strongly about the difference in religion. To me, you should suck it and go, be nice and polite as you would to anyone of any different religion. If you love your fiance, just keep your feelings on this matter to yourself for the time being anyway. Just celebrate the day with family and don t make a big deal out of it. Christians are taught to love everyone. If you are a Christian, what better way than to show your kindness, friendliness to other people than to go and have a good time. When you marry, they will always be family.
Your comment "going to his level" makes no sense to me. In what way?
Usually that expression is used in a negative way. A person is doing something unacceptable and others say they don't want to stoop to that level (of badness).
Your fiancé is right you must maintain good relationship with her family members and relatives based on Islamic teaching and yours also although they have different religion because being Muslims should have tolerance and respect others. But you must avoid to be affected by them to join their own religion by strengthening your iman or faith
Muslims are not allowed to celebrate Christmas or any disbelieving holidays. We have our holidays, you have your holidays, we don't celebrate your holidays, and you most likely do not celebrate our holidays. The truth is clear, Islam is the truth.
If your fiancee is a Muslim female and you are a disbeliever, then this marriage is invalid in the sight of Allah, she is nothing but a fornicator.

Do you even know what you are asking here, because most of us sure don't.
Stooping to what level? Do they eat in the driveway? Do they have belly dancers on the table during the meal?
What are you stooping down to? What, they don't eat under the bridge like you are used to? WHAT do you mean?
If you're implying that her brother is beneath you then I'd be bloody mad too. You're obviously a racist and I don't know why she would marry you
Yes kind of. They were nice enough to invite you.
If his wife is of a religion that celebrates Christmas, then she should be allowed to celebrate it if she wants to.
Doesn't matter if you believe in it or not, at least you're with your family.
You're not obligated to go if you don't want to.

If I understand this, his sister in law has a christmas meal, just like she would for Thanksgiving or 4th july. They invite his sister and her fiance.
I do not get what is wrong with that.
She has the day off, most places are closed, so she has a family meal.
When you say go down to their level, you mean inviting family?
I do not understand this question

That should not be a problem. From your question, I surmise that you are already way below his level.

As per Islam,
Muslims are not allowed to celebrate Christmas or any disbelieving holidays. We have our holidays, you have your holidays, we don't celebrate your holidays, and you most likely do not celebrate our holidays. The truth is clear, Islam is the truth.

May Allah guide all parties involved.
Extremely, yes.
