[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest way to break free from this nonsense is to swing all the way in the other direction next year: plan a trip where you are gone the entire time. Spend Christmas elsewhere—Mexico, Vermont, wherever. Just don’t be home. Then in 2025 you can be home and scale back to just hosting your immediate family or just one meal on Christmas Eve. No gifts for adults. [/quote] This. [/quote] I agree with this too. Or plan a trip where you leave on Christmas night. Just be unavailable next year bc of travel. Then the next year tell everyone how much you enjoyed your nuclear family holiday. The key is to put this out there very soon. Don’t wait until summer or fall when people are looking for plans. Tell your sibling now, so they can start figuring themself out. Then tell your mom. Let them pout, it’s fine. Plan other times to see grandma, drop the cousins. [/quote]
