You can keep your rigid Christmas traditions I'll be tucking into my Boxing Day carbonara | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
Briefly

Taking the pressure off the festive season and choosing to please only yourselves is something many people fantasise about. It allows families to break free from the stress and expectations often associated with holidays.
Some people feel so hamstrung by responsibility to others that they never get the Christmas they secretly want. This raises an important question about personal boundaries during holiday celebrations.
The decision to have Christmas just for ourselves has been liberating, fostering both family intimacy and unforgettable memories without the stress of larger gatherings that often accompany the season.
There's something about a movable feast that makes everything a bit looser and more relaxed. By not conforming to the traditional expectations of Christmas, we found a way to truly enjoy our time together.
