and what i mean by that is, do you fly/drive to see family? family comes to see you? friends? or just you and your offspring? alternating?
i always wonder what other people do.
my DH and i (for the most part) alternate every other year doing each holiday at the other's parents house. so, one year will be thanksgiving at his parent's and christmas and my parent's, and the next year switch. so basically we are flying/driving some where every year of both holidays, and seeing both sets of parents. sometimes that has been disrupted a bit because of TDYs and deployments, but for the most part we try to stick to that.
it's nice now that we are just a few hours away from my parents here, so we don't have to go to the airport to see them for the holidays whilst we live here! still... it makes holidays kind of stressful because it always seems to mean flying some where.
i've also wondered what we will do when we have kids. have all the parentals come to see us? sometimes have holidays with just our little family? i wonder when it changes.
shareshare your relationship status and if you have kids, and if your holiday comings and goings have changed over the years, or if you anticipate it to change someday.
