How many of us never figure it out, and put it into practice. I'm incredibly impressed by you right now -- great job.
I hope it goes well for you. What I do for holidays with family is take something along to do. If this holiday is at your house, that's not as easy, but when we go to my mom's or other family members' for holidays, I usually take a project along -- preferably my spinning wheel, since that's the easiest mindless thing to do, and no one starts asking to see what I'm making, but even some knitting will do. Something that keeps my mind and hands just busy enough, and still allows me to be part of the gathering.
If people are coming over here, I try to work something out with my husband, some signal, that tells him to step in. He's incredible about doing that -- even though he hates conflict so much we NEVER fight about ANYTHING. He'll still stand up to my family for me.
Anyway, all this is to say, I think you're doing great, and I hope it works out well for you. Good luck to you.
