I won’t be spending Christmas at home this year. It will be very difficult. Though I will be with brothers and sisters in Christ and maybe that’s all that really matters.
Ugh… unfortunately this year, my mother, who lives in the land of cold (Michigan) has roped us into flying out to her house… and very much against my will (she actually bought our tickets)
Toting around a husband who just “doesn’t do cold”, a 5 year old and a massive amount of carry-on luggage (to avoid the luggage fees) on Christmas day is going to be a NIGHTMARE!! LOL
Thanks so much for the great giveaway! I hope I win!!!

We have not traveled on a holiday since our boys were born and thats been the best! Our laast holiday trip (on july 4th) what was supposed to be a 3 hr car ride turned into 8+ hrs, never again on a holiday!
I’m not traveling this season… I have to work!
We are spending the Holidays at home! I am so excited about it. Our youngest is 17 months old and we have one due in January. I am way to tired to go here and there and everywhere.

We have four family gatherings each year for Christmas but don’t travel more than 45 miles for any of them.
No, I am never home for the holiday as all my family lives in the sunny south where they just got 10 inches of snow while I had a dusting. Now I have to drive on a weekday and I am going to hit so much traffic – waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Headed to visit with family at my aunt/uncle’s house that’s 30 minutes away.
We plan on only one daytrip for the break, so mostly we are staying at or close to home.
home sweet home i say.
No travel for us this year, thank goodness!
We travel to my parents’ home which is less than an hour away.

We will spend the holidays at home.
We’re going to a friend’s house, about an hour away.
I have family at home for Christmas Eve and we meet with relatives for Christmas.
