Christmas Eve in my family is spent at my cousin's house. In the past, it was fun. But the only 3 cousins I have left are involved in a family feud. It's gotten to the point that the my male cousin (he has 2 sisters who are busy bodies) and they don't speak. Jack decided that this starting this year he was taking his family to Cancun for the holiday, rather than expose his family to a very "cold, volitile" situation. Can't blame him.

I came home tonight totally depressed. Why? Because the only family I have left is my brother who lives in NC and I miss him terribly. I also miss the relatives that are no longer here. It seems that I go through this every year and I'm getting tired of it. I'm even thinking of doing what my cousin Jack did. Go somewhere where it's warm, sunny and the only thing going through my mind is the wonderful fresh, salt air.

Thanks for listening. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas.
