All I want for Christmas...

Nov 29, 2007 00:37

So I mentioned to my dad on the phone that I was kind of dreading Christmas break, because it's gonna be about 2-3 weeks with nothing to do. I know myself, I'll go stir crazy. There's no one here that's all that important to me, no one that I'd want to spend this special time of year with.

So my dad immediately opened up Expedia and offered to fly me home for Christmas.

I think the fact that I started crying, and am having a hard time stopping, is probably a really really big sign that I should take him up on it.

It's not that expensive, not if I fly out pretty early, like a week before Christmas itself. Then I'd fly back the 26th, and fly to Cardiff the 27th to begin my trek across the UK.

He told me to think about it for a couple days, but I really don't think I can possibly say no. I miss my daddy.

I hadn't even allowed myself to consider this as a possibility, so I wasn't sad that I wasn't going home, merely resigned. That's because we had looked at flights much closer to Christmas, which are twice as expensive, and we just couldn't swing that. But now that it's a possibility I suddenly feel the need to be home with my family like an ache in my stomach, and hey I'm crying again.

Yeah. I'm going home for Christmas.
