I'm going to spend this christmas with my family
Are you looking forward to spend Christmas with your family?
Not really, but I'll manage it and at least I won't feel lonely.
Hey, maybe you'll have fun this year. Lots of people don't get to be with their family for xmas.
I heard, but my family is a mess usually. It is not like I have a choice in it.
Try to make it worth your while. Start a new tradition to make it fun. Trade off some good stories or make it about giving gifts they will appreciate.
