Historic considerations apart, I totally understand not wanting to celebrate holidays with obnoxious people you don’t like… but what’s the problem of doing it with people you actually like?
I like most of my family, actually. It’s just the stress of prepping and running around I don’t mind getting a break from. Will likely hear from or contact a bunch of them as the day rolls on.
Well here’s the kicker. You lot can get together whenever you want. It’s a lot easier, enjoyable, and convenient doing it that way too. Most of all, it’s actually your day, so it means something.

Sometimes you just need an off year.
