[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We both grew up with large families that celebrated typically, up until around the time we were in high school. Both our families more or less dissolved around the time of our grandparents deaths, and never recovered. Everyone is estranged in both our families. To make matters worse, neither of our sets of parents mesh well, so hosting our own holidays is a disaster and we just don’t do it. We do smaller gatherings, alternating, that we both hate. We mostly do it for our own children, to give them a semblance of normal. But we hate every minute of it. Neither of us can figure out why, despite growing up celebrating typically, we don’t feel a longing for those types of celebrations as adults. What could it be?[/quote] I’m not a big holiday person either (I’d be happy to skip them all) but I think it’s a benefit. So many people are disappointed by the holidays, and my expectations are so low I’m never disappointed![/quote]
