[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really, really, really hate holidays.  Instead of having a huge get together, I would much rather crawl with a mug of cocoa and read a book and just relax.  I don't want to go to anyone's house.  I don't want to host anyone.  DH is complete opposite.  He lives for a party.  He is a great cook and a wonderful host.  I just want to hide and not have anyone bother me with small talk.  Is it too much to ask?

I work long hours, I am also on the PTA, I do a lot with our kids. I just want to relax on my own terms during the holidays.

Are there other people like me? [/quote]
Yes, other people are like you.  Yes, it's too much to ask.  Sometimes you do things for the sake of others, like your DH.  Sorry.  Good news is that most days of the year are fine for your kind of enjoyment.  A few days of the year are for the extraverts.[/quote]

I agree. You’re lucky to have the opportunity for big family or neighbor events. Many people don’t.[/quote]
I do plenty things for the sake of others.  I just don't like crowds and forced conversations.[/quote]
