The girlfriend in the story below made a truly bad impression on her boyfriend’s family when she joined them for Thanksgiving dinner last year. She called her boyfriend’s mom’s turkey «too dry», and made his 5-year-old niece think she was stupid because she kept correcting her grammar mistake.
Soon, Christmas will be here, and the boyfriend wants his family to invite his girlfriend to their holiday celebration. However, the family is not too excited to deal with the girlfriend again.
The holidays are a time for you to surround yourself with the people you love. It doesn’t even have to be your family if they are not the ones to make you happy. All that matters is that you feel like the people who are with you are those who make you feel most at home.
It makes sense not to want to be forced to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with strangers or people you barely know, especially if the first impression you had on them is not a positive one.
