[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so grateful my parents don't insist we travel to them or they travel to us during the holidays. Being able to see them at less stressful (and, yes, cheaper) times is a gift.[/quote] +100! My parents independently figured out that visits during Christmas are stressful and result in less quality time because you have to work around a bunch of stuff -- kids holiday concert, special meals, church, Santa, etc. We visit them in the summer and it's lovely. We stay longer because kids are off. We relax, spend time outside, don't worry how weather will impact travel, no pressure around gifts or very specific holiday expectations. Then we do Christmas on our own and facetime them around noon and it's so relaxing. Holidays with extended family are overrated IMO.[/quote]
