Justin's Christmas Break, Part 1

Every year I return home hoping that this Christmas will be better than the first... and once again I was disappointed.

Of course I realize that Christmastime is not about material things... so don't think I'm upset because my parents didn't buy me that Nissan Z I've been wanting. All I wanted was to spend some quality time with family, hopefully strengthen my relationship with my father, and in the process avoid any possible feuds or awkwardness within the family. But, I think we can all agree that isn't what happened. What follows is a three-part blog detailing my Christmas Break, and explaining why I'm determined never to come home for Christmas again.
