We all live in a prejudiced world, in one way or another. It could be religion, race, politics or even sexuality. We often hear how our lives can change in an instant, but do we really think about it? Taking a road trip to visit their loved ones for the holidays was something this brother and sister were looking forward to all year. They even show great holiday spirit by including their troubled longtime friend so as not to be alone.
