Have you (or did you) go any where for the holidays?
My immediate family
is local and my son-in-law's parents and sister come in from England for
the holidays, so I don't really go anywhere. I spend Christmas Eve at
my daughter's house so I can enjoy the children's discovery of what Santa
has brought.

home for the holidays and visit close friends in between.

I spent a few hours
with my family about an hour away from where I live on 12/25. I had to
go to work so I couldn't stay long.

Christmas morning
we'll open presents here at my house, then we'll go my sister's house
to open more presents and eat. Christmas night, we'll go to my uncle's
where a large number of people gather to drink and be merry.

Nope and we probably
never will. Neither Bill nor I have any family living and we consider
our pets and our friends our 'family'. We wouldn't even consider leaving
them at Christmas.

I think we went
to my grandparents' house for Christmas once; we went to my aunt's house
at least
once for Thanksgiving--she lives in Kansas City, and I think we stayed
in a hotel overlooking the plaza so we could see the lights, which were
very pretty. It was a cool hotel. It had tiny cans of Hershey's syrup.
We went shopping, and I bought a toy Wicket the Ewok and had some Pez.
I called those my "energy pills." And my aunt used to make the
BEST vanilla fudge--she's since lost the recipe. Other than that I've
pretty much just gone to my parents' house for Thanksgiving & Christmas,
if I'm not there already. The last two years we've gone to my husband's
parents' house and mine for both holidays. I've usually rung in the new
year at my parents' house, but there aren't really any sacred traditions
associated with that. One year I helped a friend baby-sit on New Year's
Eve. It was really icy/foggy, and it turned out that I was violently allergic
to the cat in the house (I've never reacted to a cat that way before or
since). I can't even remember New Year's Eve last year. I think we slept
through midnight.

I went to my grandma's
house (2 hours away) for Thanksgiving and for Christmas everybody is coming
here.

Mentally and emotionally,
I've traveled both to the past and to the future. Time exploring is one
reason holidays retain importance.

Yep, spent my holiday
time on my sofa. This is a far cry from where I usually spend all my time,
my office at work.

We had our family
Christmas on the 21st. We're going to one of our son's for dinner Christmas
Day. I'll probably be at our daughter's New Years Eve, helping with the
new baby.

We go to Dan's
side for lunch and to my side for dinner. This year we went to lunch at
his oldest
brother's and to dinner at my sister's. It's always potluck with plenty
of food. I probably shouldn't eat anything for the rest of the week!

Our
family stays close to home cause most of us live near each other. My sister
comes down from Mass for New Year's Eve and our family (I have 2 sisters
and 2 brothers) gets together then. My other sister & I spend
