Matt and his dad hunt on Thanksgiving and Christmas is usually snowy so we don't go to my parents for either holiday...I feel bad but then again in a way I don't. I love family and family means everything to me BUT Matt and I decided early on that we wanted to make our own family traditions and be unique in them AND have family understand or at least attempt to get them to understand. The grandparent thing is hard b/c there are two sets of grandparents and we live 5 minutes from Matt's parents....But such is life....&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sorry I comment so long!&lt;BR/&gt;Merry Christmas!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4240120207350912422/6819252994863533191/comments/default/2577773716879916692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4240120207350912422/6819252994863533191/comments/default/2577773716879916692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.3rdshiftthoughts.com/2008/12/strange-parents.html?showComment=1230232800000#c2577773716879916692' title=''/><author><name>Ruth A Stiles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00351244980858321618</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IX4D7Cckv7g/SUvvDwN4_yI/AAAAAAAABpY/ckx5B2QBqyw/S220/19(4).bmp'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.3rdshiftthoughts.com/2008/12/strange-parents.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240120207350912422.post-6819252994863533191' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4240120207350912422/posts/default/6819252994863533191' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-705611450'/></entry></feed>
