  • I work in a small office where we have to book vacations almost a year in advance so everything stays organized.
  • Back in January I requested two weeks off for Christmas and New Year, and it was approved months ago.
  • Now, just last week, my coworker came to me saying she found a "dream deal" for a trip to Asia in December, but the dates overlap exactly with mine.

  • Sassy-Peanut I so hate people who say things like "since you don't have kids" and "Christmas matters more for families" are so irritating. Why is their Xmas more important than yours because they chose to have children? Unbelieveble!

  • NYC-WhWmn-ov50 I always love people who claim that 'having kids' is the ony thing that equals 'having family'. I have family too, ridiculous amounts of it, they just didnt come out of my . And crazy fact, we like to see each other without humans under a certain year or height requirement present.
