Dad is livid.  He thinks she can’t give up a holiday with her family because she's been dating a boy for two months - it’s too soon and she’s too young. Mom says that she’s head over heels for the guy and she’ll only be miserable if she’s home, to be happy they’re getting Christmas and let it go. What do you think?
