[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, but what’s a nice way to tell them basically we don’t want to celebrate Christmas with you? Just we decided to travel this year? [/quote] you don5 tell them you don’t want to celebrate with them, you just say, “next year we are going (skiing). “. You don’t have to say why. If they push back, you say, “while we enjoy being with everyone, we would just like to do something different this year.” Then change the subject. [/quote] Thank you. I needed it spelled out. [/quote] Yes this exactly. Don’t explain or apologize, just state what will be. Give them a few months notice but not 10, don’t create drama . Be vague about the future after that - “sending all our love. see you in 2025!” Enjoy your trip![/quote]
