Am I weird? While I would love if we could afford to go home and visit for the holidays, I would not want to be there on Christmas Day. I like being in my own home. I like waking up in my own bed, with my children in their rooms. To me, traveling for Christmas is such a pain in the ass and it's not something I want to do. I'd rather go visit at Thanksgiving or in the summer.
First, traveling with gifts. How the hell my parents did it when we went to Georgia during my childhood, I'll never know.
It's just not worth the hassle to me.
If we lived close enough, we would gather on Christmas Eve at my fathers house (or wherever they decided to have it that year. Probably Dad's house, that's where it usually is.) and spend a few hours there. There would be gifts, food, lots of laughs.. and lots of love. But we would go home for Christmas morning.
I guess I'm weird like that.
