In my family, holidays are a big deal. Everyone is expected to attend, and if you don't, than there better be a very good reason. It was recently brought to my attention, by my mother, that we were expected in at my grandmother's house for Christmas. My grandmother lives in Washington DC, I live in Virginia Beach. Normally, I would have no issue with this, but my boyfriend is coming home. He is in the ARMY, and I have not seem him since October 7th. I really would like to spend Christmas with him, because once he goes to Texas January 2nd, I will not see him until March 16th. Is it wrong for me to miss the family get together, because I want to be with my boyfriend??

Family is family when u in need family will be there
yet to see ya mate is grand but inside facts is one so
love of heart yet can walk away to break a family bond
is not so wrong coz we all have to move on in our own life
yet what means so much to a family traditional is wrong !
to have it all in one why not get with him and then you both
take the trip to Washington be with the family that day and once
that take place then spend the rest of the day with him
if love is in bond he will understand and likewise as the family
knowing he's home only for a short time .....be wise of your choice

i think that you should spend christmas with ur boyfriend if you are not going to be able to see him and you have not seen him for along time although your family probably means the world to you and you want to see them you need to let them know and understand that you would like to spend christmas with your boyfriend and that's just what i think

get back at me nikigirl

family is everything to me i would spend the holidays with my family for anything but if this guy means alot to you and you really want to see him and be with him before he leaves and you not see him for awhile then do it. i'm sure your family will understand that and be able to be like well go ahead and be with your boo.

holla at me
