I do spend Christmas eve with my family but because that day is no longer the big event that the whole month of december has been leading up to, I don't feel the pressure of it all having to go smoothly. If it gets too much, I'll excuse myself and head home. I know this won't work for everyone; my family is small and we live close together. But just this simple change in my mindset has helped me personally reduce the anxiety that the holidays would give me every year.

I've renounced Christmas and am now just looking forward to the winter solstice because that's when the days get longer again and it's just more meaningful to me. It also feels more intimate because it's something I do for myself. Obviously Christmas still happens around me but I put myself in the role of a spectator outside of all the craziness.

From the article:
"In the aftermath of the quake, Hatayspor initially reported Atsu had been rescued "with injuries", but a day later that position changed."
