Well good for you and you'll probably have a fine time!
LW is absolutely correct that it is often really nice to enjoy one's own company..wear what one wants, watch what one wants, be quiet and the enjoy the company of our pets. A perfect holiday. The pressure to be with someone is part of our consumer crazy culture. Marketers want to sell us stuff to wear to win the loves of our lives..and of course we all want the loves of our lives..Don't we? So we'll buy stuff. It's the sappy consumer conspiracy that wants us all to be doing the family thing. I've done the Christmas and the Thanksgiving alone, but can't do it this year as I've got to take two planes to two different faraway places to see family who I really want to see. But it would also be really nice just to stay home with the dog and cat! Nothing wrong with you LW. I'm jealous.
