I am glad that you created a new tradition and I don't blame you...I wouldn't give them up either. They are your family as well. It's nice when you can surround yourself w/family and friends for the holiday.
Travel safely and enjoy your time away.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
