Had an Urban Tribe Thanksgiving and every year I think this is the perfect holiday for it. Christmas is overwhelmingly filial; you have no choice but to give in and spend it with those who share your genetic code--no matter how much you long to spend just ONE year in your city to go to your Christmas Eve services, to decorate your own tree, to plan your own parties and spend the day drinking as much egg nog as you want in your own bed.
Bitter? Yeah. A little.
...
It's Saturday and not that late and I'm home. Alone. A long weekend, alone.
Frustrated? Yeah. A little.
