I was visiting relatives for the holidays and to make things easy I stayed at a hotel. I had plenty of hotel points so I stayed for free. While I may have missed a few events at my parent's house as I did relax in comfort.
At breakfast, instead of cold cereal with a bunch of squealing kids I had a quiet breakfast with a very attractive waitress. How could I hope for more? Being an early riser I found it was just me when I went down for breakfast. Since I was the only diner the service was excellent and I had time to chat with the waitress.
The first morning I ate there the waitress was very polite and attentive. The food was ready quickly and when she noticed I had pretty much finished she sat down at an adjacent table and asked if I was visiting for the holidays.
"Yes, I'm visiting family but avoiding all the stress."
"Excellent decision," she replied. I immediately noticed how her curly, dark hair settled down over her shoulders. Her eyes were an alluring brown, very dark and exotic looking.
"Yeah, I mean I love the family, but all that noise and commotion. I can take it at lunch and dinner but give me peace and quiet for at least one meal."
