I always do the same thing for every holiday season. I dread it, even before it begins because it can be so hectic. Don’t get me wrong. I love the holidays, the feeling of giving and being able to visit my family, but that’s pretty much where the pleasure ends. Each year, along with the coming holiday, I have to celebrate with my family as well as my fiancé’s family. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it? Guess again. My family is a little broken up. They refuse to all get together on one day, so I always end up having to visit five different homes of my relatives over the span of two days. Throw in the three others that my fiancé adds to the mix and we end up running around all over town and eating way too much to even be able to enjoy. I wish that for one year, we could just stay home and relax and enjoy spending the holidays together, alone. Maybe this year will be the year to make that happen.
