Christmas plans

After careful consideration, we booked the flights to Finland for Christmas today.

The thing is - I don't particulary want to go. I have two weeks of holiday for the next 11 months, so we can't stay for the two weeks we would normally do. The jet-lag will mean I will be totally out of it for the ten days we are there. With family obligations left and right it will not be relaxing or invigorating. Travel is pain, and most of all - it's extremely expensive and it will take all the savings we've managed to accumulate so far. (This way we'll never get anything saved up.)

So the obvious question would be why is it that we're going.

Short answer - external pressure. I'm 31, but still sometimes my life is not my own. There are still other people to think about, whose well-being needs to take precedence of my own.

So we just need to take it as it is, and try to make the best of it. Midst all the obligations we need to try to things for ourselves too, meet close friends and let the hair down, just a litle bit.
