I remember reading about people going to the hospital on Christmas eve out of sheer loneliness. This looks like the article.

Whatever drama happened - I completely missed. I don't feel left out. I feel fortunate.
On the other hand, I do hope to cultivate a relationship with my child(ren) such that they want to be around us for the holidays. I have seen it happen with exmo and nonno families. I know it's possible.
