Im with you solitaire. I moved to halfway across the country when I went to college, and left most of my family back in Mass. After my first year I never went back for Xmas or anything else. I used to feel a little guilty about it but I grew out of that. I refuse to suffer because it's traditional.
People used to invite me to stay with/visit their family for these holidays, but I brushed them off too. Honestly, most of my friends envy my freedom and have told me so.
(BTW, if you want to visit people, you don't need a holiday to do it.)
I love Xmas, and all my days off from work. I like to sleep late, watch football and putter around the house. This is heaven to me.
