Have any of you decided to give the gift of a trip to your family for Christmas? For example rather than buying a bunch of meaningless gifts have you ever gone on vacation? Not to visit family just your husband, the kids and yourself hit the road or hop on a plane and go away?

My darling husband and I are contemplating doing that next year.

    Yep, this will be out third year doing it. Kids are out of school, we've got days off of work so we don't have to use as much vacation time, it's the perfect time.

    My family did this once when I was about 13. It was probably the worst Christmas we`ve ever had. Our family went to Disney over Christmas, and we were all just crabby. Now my family never goes away, because we just love it at home.

    Everything about Christmas at my parents is amazing. The food, the house, the warmth, the family. Its so nice being home.

    This year, my bf and I are going away the week before Christmas, so I cannot wait for Christmas this year! Week off before Christmas, then another week off over Christmas. Ahhh its gonna be nice to not work for 2 weeks!
