[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am especially interested in hearing from people with older teen or young adult children/nieces/nephews with no kids of their own and do not travel during the holidays. I used to love holidays, but I have become very bored with them, to be honest. Both sides of the family live in town, so every family get-together feels the same. Whether it is Christmas, Easter, a random birthday, or whatever. Nothing feels very special. We do have some fun traditions, but it is not enough to make me really look forward to it. My kids certainly don’t complain, but I would imagine they feel the same way on some level. I still want to see our extended family on holidays, so going on trips isn’t the answer. Just curious what others do to make the holidays special if you are only seeing the same people you see all the time![/quote]Frankly, it’s young kids that make the holiday special and magical.  I’ve tried for years to make the holidays special without them and it just seems forced. [/quote]
