Your mom sounds like a good reason for you to WANT to go. But blackmailing you into going is bad form from your relatives, and giving into emotional blackmail makes you feel bad. Can you focus on the reasons why you want to go, so that you'll feel like you're choosing to go, rather than being forced? Or can you stay at home for Christmas and visit your mother more often during the good-weather months?
