Scenario

When family traditions become obligations that no longer serve anyone

Our family holiday traditions have gotten completely overwhelming — three different celebrations because of divorces and remarriages — and everyone's exhausted but no one wants to be the one to suggest changing things that other people might care about. We're all performing joy instead of actually feeling it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
