I hate the holidays. So much scrambling, logistics, crowded transportation, and annoying family dynamics. I think it's safe to assume that we're off the hook for all of it this year. I will tell everyone how sad I am that we won't be together, while silently cheering inside.

Me too. I'll be sad I don't get to see my family, but I hate the traveling and other dynamics that go into the whole thing. It's exhausting.
Why have a secret? Let's normalize this. :)
It is like the Reading Log for kids. Someone on UB said at the beginning of the school year, say my kid loves to read but we cannot remember to do the reading log. Poof, you're free from the reading log!

I just hate the holidays where MIL makes a public announcement thanking everyone for coming but me. What a piece of work.
So now you have a reason not to go. Enjoy your holidays!!!
Lol unfortunately she lives 5 minutes away but YES I am NOT going!!!!
I get it, but I love getting together with my husband's side of the family. They are awesome!
