[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both! Most important, especially as you get older: Be flexible!! Old people getting crotchety and stubborn seem to be a huge contributor to holiday stress, at least according to this forum. I went from my childhood of having a very traditional xmas in a NE liberal enclave in a snowy climate, church on xmas eve, classic xmas menu (even down to hard and soft xmas pudding sauces) dressing up in xmas finery, etc etc, to now in my 40s the whole extended family converges in Florida, xmas walks on the beach, no church and we have ribs and smoked turkey for xmas dinner. My MIL was not flexible, and for years it was challenging to work around her. She passed away, and the rest of my inlaws, as well as my whole extended family, just want to be happy and together, so everyone is super flexible. Fun times! Evolution! Now these are new xmas traditions, and even they continue to evolve. [/quote] So sweet![/quote]
