So I was talking to Mom. See, my cousin wanted to start tonight at 7. I get home around then. And the immediate family wants to open presents before we go up there, which is even more time lost. I was actively considering them starting without me, because I could come home and go to my sister's. but I don't like taking my car there (it's like, a half-lane street where she lives, and impossible to park or turn around easily.)
Mom: But if we started early, you'd be left out.
Me: That's nothing new for me, mom.
Hell, the feeling is par the course for my everyday life: why should this be any fucking different? Mom will call me later, and we can figure out what we're doing then.

If I were celebrating I'd want you there too.
