Who's going home for the holidays?

[Adaon]

Some people think it's a great time to get to know your friends'/roommates' families while your away at school and spend holidays with them instead of your own family. What's your choice?

My schedule for Thanksgiving Day this year: Mandarin exam in the morning, 5 hours of classes in the afternoon, Japanese Language Proficiency Test review in the evening. Remind me never to be overseas for Thanksgiving again. <_< I haven't spent Thanksgiving with my relatives in a long time, ever since I started high school, and I kinda miss it. Next year is looking to be the first time in 8 years. I always ended being adopted by some friend's family and shuttled off to their Thanksgiving parties (where after dinner, we were promptly thrown in the basement or rec room with a bunch of food and entertainment while the adults went off to talk. Kinda fun, actually, met lots of cute girls that way :rolleyes: ). Though ever since my sister moved to Boston I've usually spent Thanksgiving with her.

Thanksgivings is one of those times you're supposed to spend with your family no matter how far away you live!

I'm going home: down the subway and across the bay, back to suburbia (Staten Island, New York) I go.

I'm on call Thanksgiving day and Christmas day. It's not on the units so I can just chill at home which is a block away from the hospital and just wait for them to page me, if they need me. **Knocks on wood and hopes nothing big comes up**

I've swapped with a co-worker so he can cover for me so I can potentially take some time off for Chinese New Years.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas and this gives me an excuse not to drive out and hang out with my future in-laws in Bayside, Queens :D. So, it works out alrite.

Chinese New Year's is our big thing, I'd rather have time off for that with family and friends, hopefully, heh.

Wow, I feel like the Grinch now. :ph34r:

*shrug* but a lot of families don't do anything special. and a lot of people don't have the means to travel far to see their families. i usually take in a few strays for thanksgiving at my house.
