should I travel to see my family this Christmas?
Question by Nia: should I travel to see my family this Christmas?
It’s been about seven years or so, that I haven’t spent Christmas or New Years with my family (except Mom).
I found this really good deal and I saved up just in case I wanted to go.
Just that I don’t know whether I should go or not.
1. I’m a bit scared to travel alone, even though I have done it before.
2. The whether freaks me out a bit.
3. I don’t know if I should leave my boyfriend and Mom around this time of year.
4. people whom I want to visit may not have that much time left as much as I’d like them to.
If I don’t go, I may regret not going.
If I go, I may get somewhat paranoid.

Can you take your Mom and/or boyfriend? Maybe go a few days before the holidays or a few days after if they have family commitments and can’t leave on Christmas? I think you should go. You’ll be thankful you got the time with your family and all the possible bad things won’t matter once you are there. Take books, magazines, music or whatever you need to make you feel comfortable and not paranoid and be proud that you have the guts to do it.

I wouldn’t go….you have to also think about your mom she would be left all alone on christmas…unless she can go with you….so what ever you pick just please don’t leave anyone alone on christmas….
Spend part of the Christmas/New Years holidays with both your mom/boyfriend and family. 7 years is too long to go without seeing your family. If you don’t see your family, you will regret it when they are gone. No amount of success at work, nice cars or nice houses can make up for your family. But Christmas is coming soon so you need to call your family ahead of time and let em know you are coming. If there was conflict with them and if they are not polite at first, just let them know that it’s Christmas and that you do want to see them. If you did something wrong in the past, you might want to apologize but stress to them that you want to have a nice visit with them. Traveling alone takes some getting used to, but remember that if you are lost, you can always ask the airline or bus employee for help. If you are driving, you can always pull into a gas station or rest stop and take a few minutes to look at the map. Many ppl have to travel all the time (traveling sales ppl, business ppl, truckers) so just try to be organized. Make a list of what you need and start packing. As long as you have your driver’s license, cash and credit cards, you can always buy small items that you might have forgotten to bring (e.g. toothpaste, food, etc.). Take care of yourself, you can do it and Merry Christmas!
You should go, ask your mom and boyfriend to join you. Make this year Christmas different.
