This post is for anyone who is down this time of year because you either have no "family" or cant make it "home" to celebrate with your "family". I put the word "family" in quotation marks because most people think of family as their relatives. However, that is only one defination of it, according to Webster's dictionary. One of the other definations is: a group of people united by one purpose who care about each other. Under this definition, WE are family! So, there is no one on here who "has no family". And since the ICN is global, with many different time zones represented, there are people on here almost all the time. So, for those of you who cant be with relatives this holiday, dont think that means you wont be with family. Because, WE are family! ( Kind of makes me think of that song, "We are family. I've got all my sisters with me!" :)

And for those of you who cant go "home", well, I think Robert Frost put it best when he said, "Home is the place where when you have to go there, they have to take you in." So, if you cant go to the other "home", come on by your home here, and be with family! We'll take you!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to my family here!

Love,
Your sister,
Amy :)
