Missing the home during the holiday season

As excited I am about having Christmas at my apartment for the very first time, there is something very depressing about not being at home for the Holidays. This will be my first year not in California and with my sister for Christmas and not be with my three best friends Sandi, Nate and Phil for New Years. The closer it gets and the more snow that falls the more depressed I get about it all. I think knowing that Japan doesn't celebrate the same ways that America does doesn't help any. And to top it off a lot of my friends here will be back home or off wandering the world. Please someone be my prince and fly in for a surprise and sweep me off my feet or cuddle inside and watch the snow with me.
