Yes because I refuse to get stressed out about them. The last few years we've done low key Thanksgiving potluck style. We also will go to my inlaws for Christmas eve but we spend Christmas day at home leisurely. I don't cook a big fancy meal or anything. We just enjoy ourselves. As for gifts I love to buy presents when our budget allows. When things are tight I try to do family gifts where I get something for all the kids to share like a board game. This seems to work well.
