I quite agree on large clans - our tradition is Christmas Eve. Though this year, I've sent my presents ahead, and may not make it myself: it really has been quite a week. And as much as I'll miss them, I'm not sure I'm up for the whole extended family and lots of questions right now. Raz and I do have plans for tea with my parents this coming week, and such, though.
I did know about Letitia, of course. (Raz has been quite careful about letting me know that kind of thing as well.) And you're quite right about the family connections mattering.
The whole business was quite unsettling, honestly. It's one thing to be disliked for myself, but quite another to have something of this kind happen, I must say. And worrying about whether it might affect other students (well, it has, but if it had been worse, I'd have been beside myself, if you follow.) I do hope she gets help, though I'm sure I don't know what that might look like.
