I am a long-term migrant in an EU country lived here for 24 years and family are also here. I am already being asked if I am 'going home' for Christmas.
When I point out that I am at home I get some very confused looks and then lots of frankly silly questions.
Asked in Church yesterday if I had booked flights, duh I live 5 minutes walk from the Church, as this person knows well. I pointed out that it would be a very short flight........
I had made it very clear that I would be staying at home but she kept on for about 5 minutes.
DD gets it too and she is married to a local man.
Just the start every year.
Thanks for listening, a 92 year old friend was also recently asked!!!!
