I'll have a blue Christmas... or maybe I won't, idk.

My second holiday season in the UK. Thanksgiving has come and gone, Christmas et. al. is coming, and I have this vague unsettled feeling that I should be homesick. But I’m just… not. I don’t really feel anything

“But I always feel like that. You mean that’s not normal?”

It's normal for you. Her culture shock is normal for her. Everyone has different responses to events, and that's fine. Your feelings are entirely valid. *hugs*

Thank you.

My sister is like you - she has the ability to be 'at home' wherever she is. Which was good, because she married an Air Force guy and they moved every 3-5 years while he was in the military. I stress when I travel. It doesn't matter how much I want to go, I stress. I hate being away from my comfort zones. I hate moving. I like to stay in one place. So, I think your response to being an expat is a perfectly valid one. As seryan said, it's normal for you.

Maybe you're right. I hope so.

Hm, well, I hope it's the coping going on and not broken numbness? *hugs*

Me too. XD
