Yeah , the next 4 years are going to be a great time to be a rich American , and a tough time to be anything else . <| sep |> All the people who WANT more regulation are the ones complaining though . Just because we are one nation doesn ' t mean we share the same ideals . In fact , far from it .

His parents are about a six hour drive away , and mine are a four hour flight . We ' ve always spent Chrismas and New Year ' s apart , and we will be spending this Christmas apart as well , even though it ' s our first Christmas married . We spend Thanksgiving with his family though , and have for the past few years . However , it ' s almost a tradition of mine to spend Thanksgiving away from home , since that ' s what I ' ve been doing since college when I decided to go to school out of state . My suggestion is to do what makes you happy . I would like to spend Christmas together , but I also know I would be pretty unhappy not seeing my family . So this year we both decided to take two weeks off at Christmas and spend the first week apart with our families , and the second week , including New Year ' s together and take a mini vacation .
