Families change and so do our holidays. Some years they are jubilant and other years they suck. Unfortunately, that is the cycle of life. When alone, try to plan something nice for yourself - even if it's a day in jammies with the remote and stupid movies. The specific holiday - Thanksgiving/Chanukah/Christmas/New Year's are just squares on a calendar some years and when we cross that day off, the next day starts. If you need to have a good cry for yourself, that's ok - it's your right to feel the way you feel.
