You know, our holidays may not be the things that Hallmark makes cards for, but there is no reason it has to be.
There are still only 24 hours in each day and planning something special just for us is a great way to spend these days. If obligated to visit dysfunctional family, we can go for a short time and have our escape planned with a special treat at the end of the day just for us...light candles and let Calgon sooth your soul.
Sometimes I like quiet holidays, other years I want to join all the celebrations...but a gift of recovery is that I get to choose what works for me and then do it.
Hugs
