My idea of celebrating is to have a day away from my regular schedule to relax.<\/p>\n<p>When I was growing up, my family always got together for holidays. Probably like most families, it was something that was expected, but I\u2019m not sure if everyone enjoyed it. I don\u2019t mind spending some time with those closest to me, but I\u2019m a loner by nature, and a homebody. I enjoy decorating my house, doing some cooking, and hanging out with my pets and those very close to me, but I don\u2019t miss those larger gatherings at all.<\/p>\n<p>Family gatherings are entertaining in fiction, however, especially in comedies like National Lampoon&#8217;s Christmas Vacation. It&#8217;s fun to watch the craziness without feeling the stress.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is different, though, and some people love celebrations. How do you feel about getting together with family on holidays? Do you enjoy large gatherings, or are you more private?<\/p>\n<p>How do other authors in the MFRW 52-Week Blog Challenge feel about family gatherings?
