[quote=Anonymous]DH and I hate the holidays, in a traditional sense. We never have a “traditional” Thanksgiving. Every other year we visit my family, but since I’m an only child whose parents are estranged from their families, it’s a small dinner that’s not unlike any other dinner. When it’s just our nuclear family every other year, we do something super casual like Chinese food and watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. At Christmas, we visit extended family Christmas Eve, and on Christmas, either ILs come over for another dinner that isn’t much different from any other dinner, or it’s just the four of us and we make tons of finger food and watch movies. We don’t have big families. It’s like we don’t know how to celebrate holidays properly. But at the same time, we hate the big to-do that surrounds celebrating holidays, so US (the adults) are just fine with it. But are we ruining things for our children in the future? Will the be ambivalent about holidays, too?[/quote]
