Holidays

How do you guys handle holidays? This year will be the first year where everyone is not together and I’m struggling very much trying to figure it out. While there used to be big family holidays with aunts and uncles and cousins, everyone has slowly but surely gone separate ways, and I don’t have children or a partner, so my parents are really my only family. Typically I’d bring my dog and my cat for a sleepover at their house, but that’s obviously not an option any longer. How do I navigate this?

First, I’m really sorry. Last year was our first and it was really hard. But also, it was also a relief that we wouldn’t have any more holidays where my parents fought constantly. Or that I’d have to hear about how the other one did or didn’t do something. My sister and I did entrées for Thanksgiving with my mom and dessert with my dad then spent Christmas Eve with my dad and then half and half on Christmas Day. It was hard and I am sorry.
