Holiday Planning:

So, this year, for Christmas, Friedy and I will be going to visit my family in Pittsburgh. It will be lovely to see my family all in the same place, at the same time again - BUT there are a few awkward bits that need to be dealt with in order to see to it that everything runs smoothly. I would hate to spend the entire holiday focused on the glaring differences in religious piety within my family, rather than the IMPORTANT stuff... Like VISITING!
