Orphan Holiday
December 21, 2007
This will be the first holiday season I have spent without at least half of my family. Thanksgiving came too soon after I moved to Nevada, and Christmas... well, I procrastinated on Christmas. Although I feel like I will regret not going home for Christmas when Christmas day comes, I managed to justify not going home.
Being over a thousand miles away from home means I will probably go home once or twice a year. This also means Thanksgiving and/or Christmas were bound to be skipped. If I went one year, didn't the next, and visited them the third year, There would be, at maximum, a two year gap between holidays. This way, I minimize it down to one year and two months. Do the math.
I managed to make it through and orphan Thanksgiving due to good company — I should be able to make it through Christmas without a hitch. Happy holidays.
