S/O Thanksgiving/Holidays
I love not having to travel all over hells half acre for holidays! I have always said no to going to more than one place in one day, but we would go to Christmas Eve on place and Christmas Day to another. His family had Thanksgiving the Sunday before...
I love that I get to be with my family, in town and sleep in my bed.

You mean you're not bringing a partridge in a pear tree to federal prison? Whatevs, you Grinch
XH didn't speak to his family so I'm just happy that his sorry ass won't be around complaining about how long we're staying with my family and how he wants to go home and use. He was always such a killjoy.
TG (BF) does not speak to his family because his mother and father were abusive. He loves my family too so that makes everything a lot easier!
We split in February, so it was a while before the major holidays. I thought I'd be okay with them because I hated going to his family's. But that was their BIG holiday and his dad's 10 bros and sisters all got together and all their families. It was just too big and hectic for me. My instinct was to just retreat in a corner to get away from all the craziness. So I was looking forward to last year being able to spend it very low key with my parents and one uncle. Instead I had a very tough time with it. I spent the majority of the weekend in bed. Finally towards the end of the weekend, my mom came in and asked me if I thought maybe I was depressed and would I think about going to some counseling. It was just what I needed to hear!
This year my BFF is going to be back and her grandparents are my parents neighbor so I know it'll be a whole lot better than last year!
For me is my 2nd without having to deal with XH's family on the holidays - His families Thanksgiving was just those who didn't have other families to go to, so was a hodge podge group of people - we would go after my families. Now is just low key with my parents, I don't have siblings so is just the three of us. My mom and I go through the black friday ads..
Christmas Eve is our big day for our family, my mom's siblings and their kids (and their kids) all come over - XH's family celebrated a week before ... This year I won't be here, will be with BF's family.
