[quote=Anonymous]No way you should do both holidays w them every year! That’s way too expensive, time consuming, and stressful. Also, it’s nice for your kids and you and your husband to establish your own family holiday traditions in your own home too, not to have every single holiday be spent traveling and staying in someone else’s home. For me, thanksgiving is too short of a holiday to travel far. We don’t go anywhere for Thanksgiving unless it’s a (short (as in fewer than 4 hrs or so) driving distance). I would NOT fly at Thanksgiving—way too stressful/$$.

Christmas I’m more flexible bc the kids have more time off school and my spouse and I have more time off work. I prefer to be home on Christmas morning but we almost always fly to my parents or my in laws at some point during Christmas holiday (this year we’re flying to my parents’ for December 17-24; last year we flew to my in laws December 25-Jan 1–our flight left at 3pm Christmas day so we still got to do Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home and I loved it bc the airports were practically empty since it was Christmas. It wasn’t stressful at all.)[/quote]
