I thought that others might have the same problem and I posted this publicly so everyone can profit from the answers (if any).
At the tender age of 40+, I realized that spending Christmas with other people instead of my family simply had never been an option.
A few times I managed to skip it with the excuse of illness but last year that didn't work and my aunt travelled 1000 miles to be with me (although constantly hostile and aggressive) and it was the worst week of my life.
Any ideas/ good excuses to avoid making the trip?
I thought something to do with work, my relatives love work, but they know it's unlikely at this moment. Any other ideas?
