[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Who travels on during holiday periods unless they have to?  And, if you are someone who for some reason cannot travel any other time, it's not big deal to wait for a future holiday period - the calendar is filled with them year-round.  [/quote]

Um...pretty much everyone who doesn't have their family exclusively in the DC area?  Not everyone lives in the town they were born in...And it is a big deal to wait for future holidays--not everyone has tons of vacation time and can travel whenever and wherever...

Have you ever experienced staying home, having a four day break, raking leaves and binge watching TV? Some friends feel sorry for us that we don't have a lot of family around for Thanksgiving, while others are very jealous of our four day break at home. I guess in the early 1900s, most people celebrated Thanksgiving locally and didn't try and travel thousands of miles for dry turkey.[/quote]

No place like home for the holidays (talking about traffic for Thanksgiving travel) was written in 1954.  I think people have long traveled for hours to a full day — although when they were doing so by horse or on foot of course they weren’t going so far.  I think people have a mental limit of how far they will travel to see family and as technology develops, the mileage expands but not the time.  [/quote]
