All I want for Christmas...

[exsequar]

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.

Aww, your dad is awesome for doing that. :)

You should absolutely take him up on that offer. It will give you just the boost of home that you need to make it through the rest of your time there. Plus, it would have to be tough spending the holidays without your family.

Oh, hey, that's awesome. I'm really happy for you. ♥

You really should. If you don't it will REALLY hit you when you hit the UK.

Grab every moment.

Oooh yay! I'm glad you're going to get to go home. Being homesick sucks, and I know, 'cause I've been there, and I don't really know if you're a talker when you get upset, but if you ever just want to get it out, feel free to shoot me an email. ♥
