There's nothing wrong with a few relative-free-holidays, especially if you're between the mandatory attendance years and deciding what you want to do. Think about what's important to you. Telephone them with short happy TG wishes. Do something entirely outside your normal pattern. Enjoy the time.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
