I haven't spent holidays with my old family almost 10 years now. I am away at work and didn't feel like being around draining people. It is draining to hear gossip and other relatives bringing each other down. I wish I was visiting my adopted family members instead
I took my kids to Christmas with a buddy and his instant family. Had a good time. So much less stressful then going to see people you don't want to see that don't want to see you either
I was glad to spend Christmas alone. My mom and sisters all do their own thing on holidays. My cousin usually invites me to her house for Christmas, but this year they went to Disney.
I chilled out here and ate some good food.Got a phone call from my mom and dad.And a couple good friends other than that I just had a good time by myself
