I. AM. PATHETIC.

I live in Washington and my parents live in Arizona and this will be my first Christmas not visiting my parents.... My Mom sent me an e-mail with a picture of her Christmas tree today and in the subject it said "Wish you were here. Miss you!" and I started crying at my desk... I'm freaking pathetic! I'm married and am having a child of my own. I need to grow the hell up!

I'd cry too! Even if I wasn't pregnant. I went to college in Maine, my parents live in NH and I couldn't go home for Christmas and I cried.

No do not feel bad.  I am going home for Christmas and still feel the same way!

I'd cry too. I have never spent a Christmas away from my parents and sister!! It's always been a special day that my family, husband (and soon baby), all spend together. I can imagine it would feel very different and a little lonely if that were to change.

I would have cried too.  Thankfully, I live two and a half miles from my parents.  You're not pathetic.  Hopefully next year you and your LO can be there together.

I cried last night because I was relieved that I didnt have to travel 16 hours and then again because we arent going home this year. Last year was the first time I have ever been away from my family for christmas and I literally cried for 3 days straight... I swore I would never not go home again but we just couldnt swing it financially this year. It blows.

I spent my first Christmas last year away from my family and I had such a hard time that day. I ended up crying on the phone when I called to wish them a Merry Christmas. Don't feel pathetic I think it is hard on everyone.
