Take the next step and remove yourself from holiday traditions. I only observe the solstice/equinox dates.

    Why? It's fun to celebrate stuff.

    Oh yes, I love to celebrate manufactured stress, commercial pressure, and exhausting social obligations. /s

    I love to celebrate good food with the friends and family I care deeply about, and I love seeing them happy. There's people who arent worth it, like the OP no-contact can be the best choice and there's swaths of my family I don't talk to, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater here just makes life less full.

    You don't have to make holidays into whatever that is. My holidays are relaxing opportunity to meet friends who aren't busy with work, that's basically it. I discovered you don't actually need to Buy Product (tm) to have a holiday.
