I hope you can stay home. This sort of stuff is one reason I hate the holidays. You're required to be "merry" when you just want to be left alone.

Luckily, I'm on my own and can do what I want. My only family is far enough away that I don't have to pretend to enjoy myself on Thanksgiving. (Even though I do love them.)
