Yep the holidays get a lot tougher with age - I am always relieved when January comes around. Dreary? Yes! But at least the holidays are over. My family is historically dysfunctional and now we’ve settled into meeting up for holidays but don’t interact the rest of the year. Also have the same issue with unpleasant memories. Hanging with friends is def the way to go. Tuk tuk tour with neighbors sounds fun.

Yeah, this year my partner and I just said “Let’s not do Christmas.” So we’re going on vacation over the holidays instead. It’ll be nice to just mail off some presents and not worry about anything else.

One of my favorite Christmases was spent on an island in Belize.

That’s a wonderful idea! Having a supportive and like minded partner is the best Christmas gift. I’m still waiting for mine but a psychic said they are right around the corner.

There’s rarely been a day in the past ten years where I haven’t told her how lucky I feel to have her in my life. I hope your psychic is right.
