Nothing like the 'holidays' to bring out all those feelings. I was trying to keep up the thing with my dysfunctional family 'for my kids' but, wow, now that they're teenagers, we just say no thanks, and we do what we want.
I would rather do something simple and be happy than to have to participate with those folks I call my family. So much trouble.
Just remember, its only one holiday out of the many that you'll get to create in your life.
