Question, point blank...
Where is HE going for the holiday? If he isn't welcome at his mother's house, then where is he going? Why can't she go there with him?
If you're going out to the holiday gathering w/your family Christmas Day (where she is not welcome), then maybe that is the time she heads back to her OWN home and sits there, rather than in your house.
It sounds like a hugely volatile situation that might supercede whatever normal tolerances we have for ignoring weird behavior.
ETA - I'm glad you're not going to lie about Sally and put any onus on her. Because, seriously, if this guy did come over and has this "I can hurt anyone and feel no responsibility for it" attitude, he probably wouldn't think twice about striking your dog (or worse). Particularly if he came over -despite warnings- and thought he'd be threatened by her.
