Usually the people that do not are insensative and sometimes un-intelligent. I think it is so wrong to make people feel you have to take a vaca or say sorry for our lifestyle. I think this is why I love the blogging world so much, it is surrounded by like-minded and compassionate people. :) Good for you for staying so positive in a tough position!VeganViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850170780615200868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508221488838914233.post-31681929765740755082008-12-06T17:08:00.000-05:002008-12-06T17:08:00.000-05:00This whole situation just makes me mad for you!

I too find it annoying that it seems the family was going to attempt to accommodate you, and then once you got there, they hadn't really tried after all!!! GRRR. Sorry you had to go through that, but I think you learned a good lesson that a lot of us (myself included) can learn from too.<BR/><BR/>And I can't believe someone expected you to take a "vacation" from being a vegan! Too, too often people don't understand that veganism is a lifestyle, not a fad diet to lose weight. Keep standing your ground, you are awesome!Ruby Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236226397237084651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508221488838914233.post-78586598164485381082008-12-03T17:52:00.000-05:002008-12-03T17:52:00.000-05:00As I said while we were there, my aunt knows enoug...As I said while we were there, my aunt knows enough not to offer an alcoholic a mimosa (There's just a little alcohol in it!) but seems to take it as a personal affront that you won't pretend the butter isn't there.

My family is awesome and goes out of their way to make vegan food....so I've told my bf that I will not be eating holiday meals with his family ever. I will show up there on Xmas, after I've eaten at my mom's. <BR/><BR/>But when I go visit his family on non-holidays, I bring my own food with me. Otherwise I'm stuck eating cheeseless bean burritos from Taco Bell.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508221488838914233.post-20822832764156872182008-12-02T14:00:00.000-05:002008-12-02T14:00:00.000-05:00It sounded at first like your in-laws were being v...It sounded at first like your in-laws were being very understanding of your choices but obviously not! When will omnis get it?! I decided very early on that I will never apologise for being vegan, they can like it or lump it!<BR/>As for 'eating vacations'?? I totally despair!!<BR/>Well done for surviving the holidays.

I don't make myself a Tofurky or anything because then I would have to endure comments about how good the "real" turkey is. I'd rather just eat well the next day!
