Is anybody else over the drama the inevitably surrounds the holidays? I swear, the past few years have made me want to skip the holidays and go straight to January 2. Nothing can be easy when it comes to planning a get together. Nobody can be pleasant. Nobody can be the bigger person. Everybody seems to hold grudges & doesn't understand that God forbid I'd want to be with MY family.
Maybe that's a bad thing to say, but even though I'm married I don't feel like my husband's family is my family. I mean, there are some members of his family that I feel that I've gotten to know well enough & I consider them family. But we've only been married for 2.5 years & just because we are family because we share a family name doesn't mean that I'm going to instantenously feel that bond. Honestly, I don't think a lot of these people understand what it means to be part of a family.
But I digress! What I want to talk about is where I AM spending Christmas. I'm so excited to say that we are going to see my family in Michigan! Josh has never been to Michigan before (& neither has Aine, for that matter). We are hoping to check out a hockey game while we are there & meet up with a friend of mine who lives outside Toronto. Most of the family will be there -- my grandma, my aunts and uncles, my cousins -- including my newest cousin who will be coming home from Guatemala sometime in the next few weeks! Unfortunately, my sister, her husband & step-son won't be with us. Wish us good traveling weather!
