Originally, my work schedule made it hard for me to get home for Christmas. I talked about it with my parents and boyfriend and we decided I would stay in Vermont for Christmas and spend it with my boyfriend and his family, and then we would go down to Massachusetts together the following Saturday and stay for 3 days to celebrate with my family.
But with one of my brothers is in Australia, having left my job (which freed up my travel time), and after talking to my other brother and Dad about how bummed my Mom was about not having all her kids home for Christmas this year, I decided I would travel home on Christmas Eve and surprise her! She took it surprisingly well.

Sounds like the way MY mom would react!
I wonder if ours Moms are the same person..?
