[quote=Anonymous]I'm divorced, have an only child, and all my family lives abroad. I get my kid every other holiday. The holidays went from my favorite time of the year to the absolute worst. It's very hard to not celebrate with family. I do my best to volunteer every year, this last year was the first one during which I did nothing. I went out with friends on Christmas day. If I could, I'd host all my friends but they either have their families intact and are spending it with the bigger family or they're divorced like me and have plans of some sort. It's tough! If I learned anything through this is to always create a good community aruond you and make even the worst times good for your kid! Hosting with friends sounds awesome![/quote]
