Taking a Break from the Social Scene

If you were planning on going somewhere but had to cancel at the last minute, decide whether or not you want someone to fill others in about your absence. Maybe you'd prefer a friend to just tell everyone, "She's not feeling up to coming but says Happy Holidays!" Maybe your mom or dad can deliver a message through another parent. Don't feel like you have to explain yourself, but it may help to take the mystery out of your no-show.
