Vacation at Christmas?

Christmas is a busy time of year. Yes, that is the understatement of the year, but it is true and because of this, many people decide it's the perfect time of year to get away from home and leave the craziness for everyone else.
If you live in a warm place, let's say Florida, then maybe you're dreaming of a white Christmas and would then choose a place, let's say Colorado for Christmas. On the flip side, if you aren't a winter fan but live in, say Minnesota, known for the cold and snowy winters, you may be dreaming of heading to somewhere, anywhere where there is a beautiful warm beach and the beaming sun. So while some may just want a change of pace, others actually just want to 'get away' for the holidays.
If you aren't at home you won't need to get the food in for the Christmas dinner, this means you won't have to stand in lines and jockey for position at the deli counter or the bakery aisle. You don't need to fight others for the perfect turkey or to worry that you don't have enough marshmallows for Uncle Bob's famous salad. If you are on vacation someone will make your Christmas dinner for you. No muss, no fuss.
A vacation at Christmas also means that you are prepared for the big day in advance. You will want to take gifts with you for the morning, presumably, so those will have to be purchased before you leave. If the trip itself is the gift it makes a great surprise for those not in the know which is another reason some choose to get away for the holidays.
Some find leaving the extended family at home gives them a more relaxing experience at Christmas. There are no arguments, no who is going to make what and no bad feelings that can come from too much togetherness especially during the holidays.
So, escape the lines, escape the stress, let someone else do the cooking and the cleaning for you, prepare for the big day before you leave and above all make some memories that will be with you for years to come when you choose to leave home for a Christmas trip. It may even turn into a new tradition for the family, one that can be relived year after year
