[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I’m on girlfriend’s side. 11 hours is a lot to travel in 1 day just to make both, it’s her dad’s birthday. Just do Eve with your family and Christmas with hers. DH and I have a similar arrangement because my family is a plane ride away - we do Christmas with my family and New Years with his; it works out great since my extended family throws a Christmas party and his family likes to throw a big New Years.

You can’t do Eve with one family and day with another family 11 hours away. [/quote]

Why not? I'm guessing they're not talking about an 11-hour flight.[/quote]

Yes, OP, you'll have to explain to me how you're proposing to do Christmas Eve 11 hrs away, then Christmas 2 hrs away. If your girlfriend is fine with it, that's all good. But once you have kids, it will NOT be sustainable. So just bear in mind that traveling far away for the Holidays is SOLELY for active adults who don't have kids. Traveling with kids is exhausting, especially if there's jet lag involved.

Right- so everything being discussed here is likely to be a temporary arrangement. Childless adults in their 20s can handle some pretty crazy travel over the holidays.[/quote]
