I usually just pack some stuff, get in the car, and start driving towards something cool. No plans, no reservations, no specific goals, just go where the road goes and live on impulse. If I don't raw-dog it like this, then much like you, I get very easily overwhelmed and paralyzed by vague choice, which leads me to very quickly giving up on the whole affair. This way of going about it usually pisses most people off, but just make sure you have everything you might need (phone, keys, wallet) and you'll be totally fine. Also, my partner-in-crime likes to plan EVERYTHING, so I guess we kind of balance each other out on this front.

My main point here is that if making decisions isn't working out, then stop deciding things and just do something, anything. The rest will always follow if you let it.

Well for this winter holiday aside from being forced to see family I dislike on Christmas Eve, I'll be staying home and and avoiding people and interactions with anyone who isn't my girlfriend or one of 4 other people for the next 14 days.

I love to follow a tradition with set pieces even though they are a bit stressful. Agenda for Christmas is meet, snacks, eat, open gifts, tea or coffee, leave. I try to stay home for the rest of the time and lay a couple of 1000 piece puzzles, watch some shows and relax at home.

New year's I go for moderate drinking and watch Áramótaskaupið (Icelandic New year's sketch show) then watch the immense amount of fireworks people blow up at midnight. After that head to a small party for a couple of hours as a reunion and at 3am go home and have a short video game session.

It sounds like a lot but since it's always the same and there's no loud music at any point it's manageable. :)

I like my holidays to be inside and eating. Preferably inside my home. Several holidays mother wants me to be there with her though, which is tiring.

Cheap and hot - the Canaries

The beach resorts are as shitty as Blackpool but the interiors of the islands are really interesting

We usually have the christmas parties at my house and I am able to go to my room. I would be a lot more anxious if I had to go somewhere else to a party that I could not go away from. I always dread having to go out for other parties.
