Obviously, I was thrilled by the thought of spending time with my family at the holidays.
Then Sam started getting concerned about the repercussions of spending the holidays with my family when it's our year to spend Christmas with Sam's side of the family. And we'll have just spent Thanksgiving with my family in Irvine.
So far, my parents haven't said a word about me missing Christmas Day to be with the Galle family. They have been really supportive of us making our plans and even told my mom's side of the family that unfortunately I won't be able to get together on Christmas Day despite that being the only definite day my cousin has off work. My mom said she does hope to spend one day celebrating with us, but it doesn't matter to her which day that is.
Objectively, I don't think it's too terrible of us to split our time a little bit between the families since our parents still live just about 10 minutes apart. I know if we were spending Christmas with my family in Moraga, I would want to make sure we saw Sam's family on Christmas Eve and I'm sure my parents would understand.
I guess we'll have to ride this out a little bit and see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
