[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a PP who also has a big, fun family but warned about the PITA of doing this with a kid. I agree that daycare being closed changes the calculation a little, since your wife will have to take unpaid leave now anyway (though it sounds like she might be able to get some help from her parents and work at least part-time?)

A few things to consider:
1. Will there be any other kids there? Ages?  
2. Is it possible to rent a house just for your family? Or is the big group house the only option? Will your family have their own room? Is anyone going to be on a sofabed in the living room that you might wake up at 7am?
3. Will you do Xmas there? Tree? Santa? Will you wrap and ship presents in advance? Bring them with you?
4. Do you know a pediatrician in the area you're going? 13 months and in daycare = sick all winter. 
5. What's the plan for meals? Cooking at the house? Going to restaurants? What kind of restaurants? 
6. What is there to do? How will you entertain a toddler all day for five days?
