Normalize the idea of celebrating holidays with friends.
Kill the idea that it’s somehow less real or valid or legitimate than celebrating with family.
Not everyone can travel to see their families and not everyone has good relationships with their families. Not everyone even *has* a family. Kill the idea that if that’s the case, you’re not allowed to have a fun and meaningful holiday.
Normalize the idea that friends are important enough to spend important days with.
Normalize the idea that friendship and non-familial community really, deeply matters.
