Is it alright if I ask my mother if I could spend Christmas Eve with my father's side of the family?
Why do you want to spend Christmas Eve with them?
I just feel the need to be with his family.
I think it's good you will spend time with your father's side of the family. Especially during the holidays, I think it's nice to give time to different family members and their extended family.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk to her about the family thing soon.
I'm sure she'll understand that you want to see both sides of your family, and won't have any problem with you spending Christmas Eve with your father's side. It's good to be upfront about these things.
