DECLINE
Nope, I’m Not Going To Your House For The Holidays ([link removed])

It’s the time of year when people firm up their plans for Thanksgiving and all the rest of the big end-of-year holidays. Maybe some of you are getting bombarded with guilt-inducing texts about where you’re going — or not going.

It’s a lot to get three little kids out of the house when it’s freezing cold. The kids were tired from being dragged from house to house and wanted to be at home.”

Not anymore! She’s explaining why — and offering some support if you’re in a similar situation.
