Quitting Christmas cold turkey

morgainaA non-Christmas this year.
None of the kids were able to come home for Christmas. My sister's son is not doing well, so she went to his house to spend time with him. No decorations, trees, fancy meals, or presents.
Then my son called from China (still a bad connection) and said they weren't coming home next year either. It will probably be several years before I get to see Wee Beatrice again. She won't be a baby when I see her next time, whenever that is going to be.
My plans for the days surrounding Christmas is some pottery, some sewing, and some drawing. That all sounds good.
It's very cold outside so the snow that melted several days earlier makes a very icy walk to my studio. I may chip at the ice some, but it's a lot of ice between the house and the studio.
I bought a cord of wood, so I'm able to thaw the studio pretty well, and it's a lovely heat.
