Thank you for sharing this, there's a lot of great ideas here, and I especially appreciate your suggestions on being flexible with the needs and customs of kin, friends, and the broader culture.
One further custom that can fit the extended Yuletide that my household has been practicing some years now: on New Years Eve, we build a fire and we hand out cards to anyone joining us. On the cards, we write down anything we want to let go of as the year closes, and maybe things that we want to bring forward into the new year, and then we put the card in the fire. Everyone is free to share what they wrote, or not.
