: I really cannot stand the family pressure to travel hundreds of miles to eat food with people who I rarely see or talk to except when people get married, die, or attend holiday get-togethers.
Same's true in re: Xmess.
All they're going to do, for the most part, is gossip, watch football or reality tv, listen to "holiday music", shop, and nap. None of that is my bag, and combinations of that are even less my bag.
@thedisasterautist it's very stressful.
