Anyone going away for Christmas?

Subject says it all really 

Last Christmas, we spent in California (hey - a UK - USA couple - what do you expect) and this Christmas we're going to be in frosty ole Melksham, UK.   We seem to have left our booking and planning late in the day (as per ususual) ... are you folks travelling to relatives in the USA, spending Christmas here, or going to some other spot"

Staying at home.  Christmas Eve at ours, then Christmas day at the in-laws(around the corner) and then Boxing Day recovering.     Same every year. 

We are staying here...although we have never really gone anywhere for Chistmas (except down to Wales to see the in-laws).  We have the boys for Christmas Day this year for the first time in 5 years!  It should be nice....of course with the presents they are getting, I will be hiding in our room with ear plugs!!! 

We have spent the last 3 Christmases going up to stay with my hubby's family in Essex- spending xmas day at MIL and then Boxing day at his grandparents house in the same town. 2 -4 days full of food, board games and pressies 

This year is extra special because my Mom is coming over from NY- spending Xmas and the New Year holidays with us!

Well, we should be in the US with my family this year but the wedding cleaned out the bank account. And I can't face a drive up to Carlisle to DH's folks (and it feels like cheating anyway!). So, as of now, we're staying put though I have very mixed feelings about it. 

It has always been my dream to spend Xmas in a five star hotel.  But this year we are staying here.

I'm here in the UK for Christmas and having the partner's mother over to spend the night...her first as a widow and I think important to be with family and preferably, rugrats caught up in the Santa thing.. Mine are now watching The Grinch every day...and its only mid November.

Two years ago we went back to Chicago for Christmas, and last year we went to Edinburgh (I strongly recommend Edinburgh for Christmas holidays - it was wonderful).  This year we're staying with the hubby's family in Dublin.

I'm going home to beautiful, scenic Long Island for the holiday.  I'm not thrilled about it, and I *really* can't afford it, but it's the first Christmas since my grandmother passed away, and my mother isn't coping with it very well.  So, I will be the good daughter.

Kinda sorta--my FIL died in April and so this is the first year for MIL to be on her own. We live in Lincs. but she is in Thames Valley. So we decided to do something different and we made reservations to stay at Burnham Beeches hotel Christmas Eve & Christmas. We thought that she might enjoy a change in routine and since it's just the 3 of us this year, no one will have to cook
After that my husband & I are going back to the States (Florida)on Boxing Day and will stay there until after the first of the year.

Going back to CA... for Thanksgiving AND Christmas.  Thank God for my parents financing it or I wouldn't be able to go home at all!

Christmas Eve/Christmas day in Hub's hometown of Ipswich.  Flying to NYC/Long Island for two days then meeting my folks and sister in Puerto Rico for a couple of weeks.  I so need the sun!!!

Going to visit Jenni in MA for Christmas and New Year

Hey Kristi,

Im flying into the Bay Area next Saturday for Thanksgiving. Whereabouts are you headed?? And could we be on the same plane

So we decided to do something different and we made reservations to stay at Burnham Beeches hotel Christmas Eve & Christmas.

Ooooooh. I'm jealous!!! I went to a wedding at the Burnham Beeches Hotel last year - it's lovely! And just around the corner from us (well, OK, not the corner exactly, but very close!)

We're staying home. We're going to my family's in California for Thanksgiving, then Christmas on our own and then Boxing Day with J's family.
