Description

I've always felt slightly alienated during the holidays. Everyone seems to love the time they get to spend with their families. I rarely speak with my mother and try to avoid family get togethers at all costs. Instead I make time for people that I feel truly love and support me, my friends and my wife. I haven't gone so far as to cut off any family but I do speak with two guests who have.
