General Question

December 26, 2016

How do people in relationships spend the holidays? I've been married for two years and I guess I have never considered how difficult it would be to decide what holidays get spent where. We can split Thanksgiving and Christmas between his family and mine, but then factoring in travel days and splitting that time in two to visit two sets of families due to divorce means it's quite stressful. 
But what about spending time, just the two of us, making traditions of our own?
Are we only technically a family when we have children?
But what if I can't have children?
Are we destined to forever divide the holidays and travel and never host?

Just a general question out there to the Internet. 
We were lucky enough to spend quality time with both sets of family this year, but next year might be different. So, I ask the question: how do other people do it?

I hope your holidays were as lovely as mine and you're not at home resting and browsing the General Store and your old VSCO photos as well.
