Hi Ivana, It makes sense that you're dreading this first holiday season with divorced parents. There are many changes happening for you and a lot of these things likely feel out of your control. Find ways to make some things feel inside of your control. This can help alleviate worry and anxiety. Can you sit down with each parent and decide what your favourite holiday activities are? What are the types of food that you'd like to eat? Can you decorate your room in each home to make it feel like yours?
