Not all Americans live within walking distance of family members. What is so gosh awful about wanting to be with family, even if it means driving?
All these holidays seem to do these days is make the Chinese and the Arabs even richer and us poorer and Jesus a distant third if even that much. Grrr!
Oh really? My husband and I drove a day and a half last year so that our (then) 12 year old daughter could meet her grandfather for the first time. I think Jesus was high on list of our priorities, don't you?
The old gentleman had to wait 12 years to see his granddaughter? That's terrible! He missed almost her entire childhood. It's just lucky he lived long enough to see her at all.
