Hi @Phoenix_Rising
I like this idea too.
The past couple of years my family (immediate 4 of us) have been going away for christmas because we were all sick of the extended family lol.
This year we are going to NZ so idk if i will be free to celebrate with yous on the day itself. But i still think its a good idea to do stuff in the lead up.

I think people who spend christmas alone shouldnt feel like they are in the wrong. Sometimes life does this and people need to accept that. I think its probably good in a sense because it means one can reflect without the commercialised rubbish that exists. My dad always jokes that as sson as it is the 1st of december everyone goes mad and starts celebrating christmas because its the 1st of december.. i joke that i start celebrating christmas super early (the 1st of decemeber... but for next year)... so on that note happy christmas for 2018

But actually 2017 lol
