[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married 18 years, tween kids, and still drive to see family 4 hours away every year. It's our"normal". Kids love to spend time with cousins, and we like to visit with family. NBD. [/quote]

But when your kids get married and the grandparents are gone you won't have one single holiday tradition at your house to fall back on. Your kids won't have anywhere to go for Christmas and won't come to your house. This happened to me. [/quote]

Huh?  According to this pattern, when your kids get married and have kids, they won't come to your house anyway, because they will want Christmas in their own home.

Also, I will absolutely have holiday traditions to fall back on.  My traditions are not location-dependent.  I can still bake cookies, have a Christmas tree, decorate the house, prepare a nice meal--just as I do now.  My kids will absolutely be able to come home for Christmas, and enjoy the same activities that we currently do at the grandparents' house.  [/quote]
