Candice,
I remember how I it was sometimes difficult to get together with my family on holidays after I moved away from home. But when my Dad died, I was glad I did it.
I understand wanting to be with just your mate on holidays too. It's a special time for just the two of you.
Now I love having parents and children and grandchildren at my house on holidays. Our mothers and our kids and grandkids will be here for food and Easter eggs on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it. I'm redecorating my Christmas tree as an Easter tree and making Easter baskets. I love this stuff.
Either way, I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
