I'm confused. Why is it always bad to be away from your family at Christmas? It's a religious festival which is about a birth, and hence has familial significance, but the world isn't going to end just6 because I didn't see my mother.

Actually, this year we did go to family - Jon's family - but that's the first time I've done so since leaving home, and it's never been expected of me before.

Some people just don't think it's that much of a deal. Why does that offend some people?

You did see her really really recently

My mother is not too bothered by the fact that I didn't go home for three xmases in a row. She was more bothered by the fact that she'd got it in her head that I'd gone to my bf's parents' instead - which we hadn't - we ignore everyone equally :-)
