That is probably the most common way of celebration. Christmas certainly is a time with family. I feel for those, who over time, can not celebrate as previous times because of their losses. Holidays as such, that were family time, definitely become stressors.
Yes, my heart goes out to those who have lost family during the Holidays. In 2019, my sister-in-law fell into a coma after surgical complications the week before Christmas, and we spent the Holiday struggling to come to terms with what her quality of life would be like if we kept her on the machines. It was the most difficult decision I have ever been a part of. This is the first year we have decorated our house since.
I wish peace and joy for everyone during this season. Believe what you believe, and celebrate (or not) however you want to.
