I hope you will have a good time even alone.

Some years I just want to stay home and not spend time with my in-laws. My family does not get together any more, especially now that my Mom is gone. I had no kids so we do like to see (some of) our nieces and nephews and now the great nephews. But I get worn out with the exuberance of the children!
