Curious: Do You Go Home For Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Hello HBCU Students: Do you get to go home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas? I am curious because I mentioned to a fellow HBCU mom that my son was coming home this year for both holidays. She went on about what a "waste" of time and money that was and she also said that MOST college kids do not and that I was spoiling my child... I could not imagine not having our family together for Thanksgiving... We are actually planning on going to the Bayou Classic with another family this year to show our support. What do you get to do? Surely going home for both is not being spoiled right?

Everyone is leavin for Thanksgiving, Im probably gonna be home by myself because I have to work the days before it...wont have enough time to get my slow **** all the way up to South Carolina, so Im just gonna chill with one of my friends families down here in TX. Good stuff...
