I like the title of your new thread BF. And I am happy to read about your TG plans...I understand that it seems a bit awkward to be around friends, couples and families...at the end of the day they are YOUR friends though. You are all there together to celebrate TOGETHER.
Plus you get the added bonus of doing your own thing when you want...sneak off and read a book...take a walk... make it about your enjoyment and your holiday.
I agree that holidays bring up emotions that are hard to deal with. This holiday season I am going to try and focus on the day, where I am and...be mindful of the NOW. Let's do it together :-)
