Hello and a spread

falcongrrlHi all--
This is my first time posting in this group. I just got the Fifth Spirit Tarot deck ( www.fifthspirittarot.com/) and I wanted to try a little spread with it.
I've been feeling apprehensive because this is the first Christmas that I won't be spending with extended family. The spread I used was a three-card spread: situation, action to take, and outcome.
At first, I decided I was going to use reversals.
1 - 6 of Cups reversed. This made sense to me as a situation because I was used to the nostalgia of going to my childhood home for Christmas, but that wasn't happening this year. So the original card, but blocked.
2 - 5 of Swords reversed. I interpreted this as "Don't get into dumb fights with your nuclear family," (aka my spouse and kid) but then I wasn't sure if that would be a valid reversal meeting.
3 - 5 of Wands upright. So it seemed like, "No matter what you do, you're bound for some disagreements and conflict."
I was kind of frustrated and not sure I was reading the reversals correctly. So then I decided to redo the reading, only this time with the intention of only using upright meanings. Oddly enough, I only drew upright cards this time.
1 - 4 of Cups - I can see this card too, as having more than I need, or not appreciating the gifts I receive enough. Kind of feeling emotionally tapped out too.
2 - The Hermit - This makes sense to me as an advice card, especially when paired with the first reading. Just take some time out to be by yourself tomorrow.
3 - The Fool - maybe a return to a feeling of innocence, a feeling of Christmas in spite of everything? I hope so, though I'm not sure how that relates to the first reading.
Feel free to leave suggestions or your favorite spreads below! I hope everyone is doing okay with Solstice/Christmas week 2020.
