I haven't started hormones but would like to someday, but my parents like having over for the holidays and I'm probably gonna have to temporarily detransistion for the holidays if I do start t. What should I expect or do if I decide on this method of not rocking the boat till I'm ready to actually come out?

Ok. I have a hard core point of view. But that's because I am now 61 years old and will never go backward one inch ever again. My youngest son said, about two years ago, that "The father I thought I knew and loved is dead. Whatever I know about being a man O learned from my mother and her current husband. My other parent could never teach me to be a man because he never was one".
I cut my son off after showing this communication, a text message, to my other 3 children. My daughter was terribly upset, and my response to my youngest son was lengthy and scolding.
NO ONE IS EVER WORTH COMPROMISING YOURSELF OVER. NO ONE. NOT EVER.
I wish I could be with you right now and give you comfort and strength. I cannot.
So you're on your own... But! Take comfort in knowing who YOU are. And how YOU want to live.
Take the time to learn to say that which is in your heart, and show your parents the truth of YOU. Because YOU are a part of them and owe them the truth, just as I owed my children the truth. What they make of it is completely up to them. You can't control or affect that. And you WILL have to live with the results of what you do.
But LIVE.
LIVE and LOVE and be prepared to BE LOVED. And the younger, the better.
   Although my children are the true lives of my life, I honestly wish I had transitioned a lot earlier. My life might've been a lot different, but I think it would'be been a lot better.
   So better now than later, or never.

Not really advisable at all. After a few months on T if you suddenly go without it'll cause withdrawal symptoms such as low energy, return of body dysphoria/or that familiar feeling if not feeling 'right' as well as some potential spotting. Plus the reversal of male fat redistribution will take the same amount of time to undo as it had occurred. And after 8 months on T at least you'll pass 100%. And you'll stop sounding like you have a cold after a few months on T so can't disguise your deepened voice using that excuse

Ok so detransistioning for the holidays really isn't a good idea. Thanks 4 the heads up, everyone. Definitely woulda been a hassle to hide.
