I'm conflicted over the whole Yule thing. The practicalities of it are:

I leave the 26th early morning.

Christmas is the 25th.

Votania's great-aunt has a traditional party on Christmas Eve.

I must pack before I leave

Our Yule party is on the 21st.

Votania's mother wishes us to go to the two parties and spend the night in between at her house.

I wish to attend both parties.

It will put too much stress on me to have to get absolutely all my stuff packed and all final arrangements made by the 23rd.

I cannot attend if spending the night is involved.

If I didn't want to go, all would be good. If spending the night were not involved, I could go.

I wasn't coherent enough to lay it all out last night. I am this morning.

I cannot take going straight from one high-tension situation into another.
