Go any other week. Celebrate Christmas how it's supposed to be celebrated: eyes closed and prostrated, alone in a current of memory and visions of what is to come.
Why only celebrate Christmas with your extended friend group during the one week everyone is busy? Set your group’s handmade gift secret santa (that’s a rec within a rec) for an Italian restaurant in late January. Get wine drunk and give each other things you’ve made and bask in love.
This way every meal you eat has 4 mushrooms in it.
If you are making spaghetti, or an omelette, or stir fry, you can add 4 mushrooms into it.
Then you can eat 4 mushrooms every time you eat a meal.
