Does anyone else dread the holidays?

Question

The holidays, especially Christmas, can be rather sad and stressful for me. I feel like a Grinch, although I try to never bring anyone down with me. I think it definitely has to do with my upbringing...and I want to change because this is my first holiday season with a baby. Any suggestions on new traditions to start? ❤️

Answer

I’m in the same boat. After losing my sister the holidays are blah. This will be my son’s first Christmas so hopefully going forward it’s about him

Answer

We decorate the house the last weekend of November, and start marking an advent calendar on Dec 1st. We also go to a tree lighting ceremony or Xmas market (not sure if we'll go this year) to take pictures with Santa and eat/drink holiday foods. 
I love the festive feeling in the house, but hate family gatherings and parties, so we just keep to ourselves.

Answer

Some traditions could be baking, decorating, a family holiday movie, and crafts.
