I gave in. I'm going to visit. But I'm not staying with my parents. I'm staying with friends. I will have a couple of meals with them and spend Christmas with them. But really I'm going because I will be able to visit my friends. My dad didn't freak out when I told him that if I came I wouldn't stay with them. So that was nice. He thought I would stay with my brother, but from my understanding he doesn't have room. So I will stay with a friend instead. I couldn't say no. Why do they still have so much power?
