Christmas (I know, it's early) plans?

Anasara · November 2010

DH & I will be returning from our annual Las Vegas vacation on Thanksgiving so we'll miss the holiday. No biggie for me; I'm a vegetarian anyways! I've been thinking about maybe escaping for Christmas too. Of course, my mom is all "Why?" about it, which I don't get, since we live literally 1 mile from them & see them several times a week. DH has never been skiing & I've not been in years. We could drive a couple hours north to VT or NH. I'm hoping this will be our last holiday season childless & therefore possibly our last chance to do an adult Christmas for a while. What are you planning on doing for Christmas?

Right now we are planning on staying here in Auburn and just celebrating by ourselves. We may end up going to my dad's (in Minnesota) for a few days but I don't really want to.

We're staying home, I don't know if anyone is coming over, but we are not driving all over hell and creation this year.

I hate the holidays. I hope to ship out, but doubt it. DH's family has no idea about anything and it's doubtful we will get out of going. They live 4 hours away. I do plan to use the rest of my vacation days for our cruise in December so it will be a short visit.

By the way--Vegas sounds awesome and so does your ski trip. You should do what's best for you.

Ooooh, a cruise! Sounds lovely; I've never been on one. Where are you going?

We are spending Xmas here in LA but are heading to the mountains to stay in a cabin the day after Xmas.

I'd love to do the 12 day over Christmas, but even with my discount it was $$$ and I am short one vacation day.

Looking at Western Caribbean--Key West, Cozumel, Grand Caymon. We did this one for our Honeymoon in 2007.

I get them half price. It's like our m/c treat. We did one 2 years ago too, but the Eastern one.

It's Disney, so top class and strangely the kids don't bother me.

Christmas will probably be quiet and small. We will probably go over to my parents house with my brother & soon-to-be SIL.

Anasara - I Vegas! That is where Dh proposed. Where are you staying?

I also love Vegas. We go every year; we were supposed to go back in August but postponed due to my lap. We're staying @ Paris. I sign up for rewards programs everywhere I go even though neither DH or I are big gamblers. We ended up getting 4 nights there for $106 total.

Nice! I've never been to Maui. I have relatives on the Big Island but airfare is horrible expensive from the east coast. It's actually cheaper to go to India than Kona or Hilo most times.

Not sure. We usually just go up to WI to see my family. I know we aren't going skiing... We went to Utah in March and now know S isn't a fan. Hope you have better luck.

Good to know. Vid loves the snow (weirdo) but he's such a klutz the thought of him on skis scares me. Thank God for medical insurance!

cogbot · November 2010

We are headed to Disney World the day after Christmas. We will be going with my sister and her family and my mother. My mom is paying for the entire vacation as a huge Christmas gift. I'm sooo excited!! The hubs and I will get to celebrate our anniversary while we are there too. (I really hope this is my last childless Christmas, I tend to get very sad over the holidays.)

Mandy_Lou83 · November 2010

Both mine and DH's families live w/in 30 miles of us so we never have to travel. I love my Grandmother's food too much to skip it. I would love to learn how to ski. When DH and I were in our teens we went on a ski trip and neither one of us were any good at it. I think I made it down the bunny slope once.

DeputiesWife · November 2010

My mom is coming down for Christmas! I am VERY excited.

My MIL and GMIL are coming down for New Years which is the Russian Christmas so it works out perfectly!

I have been trying so hard to figure out a way for us to get away from our families. Last Christmas Eve is when I began hemorrhaging and three days later found out our son had died so this is not going to be an easy holiday season for me. Add to that my EDD for my second loss is at the same time and it adds up to one big depressing Christmas. Since we don't really have the money for a vacation I'm thinking we'll spend as much time at home as a family as we can and really limit our exposure to our families. It's just too hard to be around everyone, especially when they never even acknowledge our losses.

Same ole routine for us...

Christmas Eve at my parents' house... Christmas morning at his parents' house... Christmas dinner at my Grandmoms.

It's chaotic and I love every minute of it

MrsRich0226 · November 2010

Christmas Eve at my grandparent's house, Christmas Day at my aunt & uncle's house and then we leave for Denmark with my parents the day after Christmas.
