“I am an only child, so my family often spends holidays alone,” writes Christina Crawford. And she can’t help but feel a pang, sometimes: “It always makes me melancholy when I hear others excitedly discussing their big family plans or see photos of extended families gathering together.” Give it a read to see things from her perspective — if you’ve got a giant family, maybe it’ll give you a new appreciation for all that noise and chaos. (Or maybe a quieter holiday will sound super appealing.)
