possibly, one of the main reason im trying to get a job is so i can stay home for christmas and party with friends instead of going to palm springs with my family. I know its cold hearted but im not to fond of my family.

making 225$ every 2 weeks is not worth delivering papers in the morning just to stay away from my fam for 10 days. is it?

yes it is.

don't feel bad for not wanting to be on a family holiday if you are 18.

man, in a few years if you end up going to college you're going to be wishing you could go on more vacations to warm places with your family.

just saying.

Funny, my moms parents have a house in palm springs for the winter months. Its cool there, i just chill by the shared pool and hike in the mountains. There are street fairs every Thursday which are pretty fun too.

old people and mexicans are all key ingredients to the recipe of fun. or go battle mountain goats with your bare hands and bring them to justice.

Why are you honestly debating this? partying with your friends is fun and all, but this is your damn family. I'm sure your parents want you to come, but they also want you to be happy, so that is why they are giving you the choice. You will regret not going in a few years when you go off to college and get swamped by work or someone close dies (it will happen, trust me). And ITS FUCKING FLORIDA. How bad can it possibly be?

ok now it's different.

1) you don't just waste 300$
2) they paid and paying them the money won't make up for it
3) it's not worth it

Family over everything...

you'll learn to respect this with age and time spent away from the house.

There's a really large gay community there. It's the West Hollywood of the desert, or Provincetown of the desert if you will. Or Castro.

Eh, I don't blame you. I don't do much holiday stuff anymore.

I used to always go to family holiday stuff while my grandma was alive. And kind of thought my cousins were dicks for never coming up to her place. Now she is gone its the reverse THanksgiving is at my Uncles 300 miles away from home and I don't go. I mean I am not going to fly from the west coast to not even be home for Thanksgiving since obviously my friends and stuff aren't near my uncles. So basically I'll never have a normal THanksgiving again (I am sure I will go there one year.) Oh well. The option of having it at home in Boston doesn't exist I can't go to THansgiving eve get togethers to see friends from home and wake up to Turkey in my house hungover the next morning so fuck that.

Christmas it depends I might go back for it in the future depending on if I feel like it.
