Well, I think you are right to feel upset that you would be spending Christmas alone! I don't think it's very fair of your FI to suggest this! I am in a sort of similar situation, but we live in the city where his parents are. However, he has a HUGE test on january 4th, and will be studying over Christmas. We're compromising this way: I am staying here for christmas day because i feel it's important, and then I am flying out to see my family on the 27th. Maybe that's something your FI could consider?

The relationship series that is currently going on asked the Bee Bloggers to post about how they were spending their holidays. This can be a stressful time for eveyone involved, and also a time of change once you get married!
Currently my FI and I live in British Columbia, and his family lives in Nova Scotia, and mine in New Brunswick (about a 4 hour drive away from NS). Living across the country from our families typically means that we both fly home, spend a few days with each others families, and spend Christmas by ourselves with our respective families. This works fine becuase FI works a 9-5 M-F job that has a mandatory Christmas shut down, and I get Christmas break from school. So here is the kicker: When I start my nursing job next summer, I will be working a career involving days and nights in a hospital open 365 days per year (which I am fine with). I am just finishing up nursing school this year (YAY!), so this is the last Christmas I will be travelling across Canada to see my family.
I am already worried about NEXT Christmas. I know there is a strong possiblity I will have to work over the holidays, so I have resigned to spending Christmas here. It will be FI and I first married Christmas together, but he wants to leave me here and still go home! So I will be spending Christmas all by myself :( I understand his point of view - if I am working a set of 4, 12 hour shifts, falling on Christmas, it won't be fun for him to stay.
Is it dumb for me to worry about this now? I feel stupid for being upset about it - but I really want him to stay so we could spend our first Christmas together as a married couple (even if I am working some of the time).
Shift worker bees (or ANY bees), any words of advice?
