[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother (mom's mom) died a couple weeks before Thanksgiving, and my mom had been caring for her for a really long time. She was understandably depressed. About a week before the holiday, my mom just up and said, "I am not doing Thanksgiving this year. If you all want to go out to dinner or something that's fine, but I'm not doing it." My mom did up Thanksgiving in a big way, so this was a big deal in our house. The next day my dad came home with tickets to the Lions game (we lived in the Detroit area). It actually ended up being super fun and it's one of my best childhood memories. I relate that story just to say that if you want to "cancel Christmas", just DO IT. Do something completely different. Your family will be fine.[/quote]
