Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays

[justabeachbrat]

Happy holidays.
This year, my family isn't getting together.
My sister is in Jackson Hole, Wy, working at a resort. I considered visiting her until I checked the airfare. Good grief. Driving is out, family members were in 3 snow-related accidents last year.
My younger brother is to move just a matter of miles on the 1st, but has turned it into a multi-day production. I've moved, and that includes packing, in a half a day. Oh, well.
My older brother is having dinner with his ex he divorced two years back, (had to pay a good chunk of change), and her 4 kids who .... I'll just say they are interesting. The ex and some of her wacky brood moved into the same apartment complex where he lives, and he and the ex are friends, sort of. Not for me to say anything, just scratch my head.
My mother has been annoyed at all of the above, and me too, for not achieving our potential as she sees it. Odd, all of the above are professionals, with degrees. She's not saying what her holiday plans are.
Me? Staying put in the Central Valley. My car needs work and couldn't get an appointment until the 26th. I'm waiting to hear about internship interviews, after getting into 4 schools, which means I could be heading either: north, south or east. Christmas Day I'll watch football, get a turkey sandwich, and sleep, and that is OK, I've gone to two Christmas parties, seeing friends, some for the first time in years.
May everyone have a peaceful holiday.

Much appreciated, hugs and all. It will spare me from my infamous cooking or venturing out.
