Holiday plans...who has them already?

My mom just told me last night that we'll probably have Christmas at my house this year for the first time. SIL and her bf live far away, but bf's family happens to live about 40min from me. The easiest thing is for them both to fly into a NYC airport together and spend Christmas out here where they can see both families. That means MIL and my parents will come out to my house too (though they'll stay in a hotel, while SIL will probably get our guest bedroom). Fun times!

We probably won't do Thanksgiving then, because my mom doesn't want to drive up here twice that close together, and we'll be flying back from vacation on Thanksgiving day and won't want to drive out to visit family right then. I tried to extend our vacation a few days, but changing our flight was an extra $500 per ticket :(sad So it'll just be me and DH for Thanksgiving. We've done Thanksgiving with work friends before, but most of our work friends will still be on the vacation that we were flying back from on Thanksgiving day.

Clio -- Where in New England will you be? I heard that it's supposed to be colder than usual but not quite as snowy.

My in-laws are in western Massachusetts, near Amherst. It's a beautiful area, although I like it better in summer. ;))

Hi Clio and Zoe! I'm a New England girl too in Western Mass! :wavey:

Luckily, all of my family and DH's family is within half hour so not too much travel time. Thanksgiving is the only holiday where we split our day between both families, but Xmas is a lot easier as my hubby is Polish and Xmas Eve is more important than Xmas day. So Eve is with inlaws, xmas day with my family. Much easier on my son this way too.

The Amherst area is beautiful. I'm your neighbor to your north(east), Lizzyann. :wavey:
 
I made holiday plans about a month ago! We're going to the US soon after Thanksgiving; I'll be there for a few days, FI will be there for 4 weeks. After I leave the US, I'm going home until early January, and FI will join me there just before New Year's. I'm looking forward to both trips.
