We narrowly escaped having to go anywhere this holiday season. No car trips, no plane rides. No public transportation so to speak of. It rocked! This was the first year we made everyone come to us. Selfish? Perhaps. But boy did it just seem so much less hectic--except for all the cooking, baking and cleaning.
My reason for this, you may ask. (aka Why was I a giant Scrooge about this?) We're in a new house this year with a bit more room to celebrate. Our kids are prime Santa age and well, I just said 'Bah Humbug' this year to getting out and about. I hate dealing with sleep issues and airline delays. Actually last year we toyed with taking everyone on a Christmas cruise in some warm climate. But decided that wouldn't work for us right now either.
Being at home comes with its own set of consequences....cabin fever. We were snowed in for several days leading up to Christmas which prevented kids from going to school (so I could do last minute errands) and making us lose that loving feeling earlier than I had anticipated. Today we're resetting the house as Christmas Part 2 begins when the in laws arrive for a week. So the cooking, baking and cleaning go on . . .
Cara on the other hand has become a travel guru in the past few weeks and I bow down to her ability to cope (Ok, yes, she did have cocktails on the 5-hour plane ride but still). She has become the resident expert in travel.
Tell us about your holiday travels (or not traveling) and what you learned for next year.
It involves lots of work and time to complete the thesis proposal related to this good post, thence, I would better to find the thesis writing service to reach the PhD degree.

Cars and houses are expensive and not every person is able to buy it. However, home loans was created to aid people in such hard situations.
