Might I add that this isn't so much of a 'discussion', as it is a rant. And, I feel better having said it! (But I'm still staying home, dangit!!!)  |

First off your aunt and uncle shouldn't get mad at you for chosing your own father over them. But can't you spend xmas eve at one house and xmas day at the other. If not, then follow your heart, you can't be at both places at once and they need to accept that. If you choose to stay home that is YOUR decision and YOURS only. They have no right to get upset over it or give you an attitude. I do agree though that you shouldn't be alone. Why not pick up your father and go to your aunts? or maybe that can't be done. I don't know I would probably chose my father. I'm close with him though I don't know how you are with yours.  |

I don't think it is so horrible you chose to stay home.. they just as well can take the time to stop by your house to visit.. visiting family is a 2 way street in my opinion lol take turns to visit  |

Just knowing your family is alive and fighting for time with you is a wonderful gift. As hard as it is to go all over God's creation to see everyone during this season, this is the time when wonderful memories made to be cherished long from now are made. So sacrifice a little for a lot...or miss out on a few warm fuzzies. If you stay home, you will end up longing for their company...no? Whatever you decide, I wish you a safe, warm, cheerful Christmas day with tons of precious memories to pull out on grey and rainy days! MUCH LOVE  |

Isn't that what the ole Christmas spirit is all about?? Really, Sue gets upset because Aunt Mary gave her son a set of matchbox cars, but Aunt Mary gave Bob's son a 10 speed bike, and Uncle Joe visited Carol and her husband before he visited his brother John and his wife. To beat it all, Grandma spent the night with James instead of Emmy, and she gave James $50, but only gave Emmy some homemade cookies and candy and a knitted sweater. Really, the stores that takes all the money doesn't care how any family is doing as long as those credit cards are maxed out on expensive gifts. The post office doesn't seem to mind delivering all those Christmas cards that are send with impersonal engraved messages from those who had not bothered with keeping in touch at any other time of the year. As far as they know, you could have died during spring two years ago. Hope you enjoy the Christmas season.  |
