Whos going Home for Christmas?

[Sprailenes 47]

This year I am going to see Gogol Bordello in concert in Philly for new years eve. I am so excited they make AMAZING drunkin music.

We usually get a hotel room at a swanky hotel and then do a really nice dinner out, but this year I just want to come back to our apartment. No need for hotels now that we got a place.

My wife and I will definitely be stopping over in Windsor to visit her family and I'm trying to find a way to go spend our third New Years in a row in Toronto. We've kind of got a tradition going over the passed few years of going to the CN Tower for an awesome dinner than running around on the frozen ponds after we get out of the bars on the way back to the hotel haha

that is an AWESOME tradition. I can imagine all that in my head. Sounds great.

BB and I were planning on going to NY for NYE, but then my sister announced that her and her fiance are getting married on that night They're having a small civil ceremony, and are doing it on NYE b/c its 10 years to the day they met. 3 kids later they're finally getting hitched And so it seems our plans have changed, and we don't quite know what we're doing after yet. Regardless, Im excited for my sister.

After years of driving 5 + hours to Owen Sound in all kinds of crappy winter weather, I feel like it's time to have Christmas at someone else's house (brothers in London and Toronto... both are closer!) Until this happens, I am not particularly concerned about making the effort to get to my family's Christmas.

This year we will be going to Springfield, IL for my baby's family Christmas. Yes, I realize that's further than Owen Sound, but I will be in Chicago anyway, so Springfield is not that much further.

My baby is coming here to Windsor for new years though! I have to find something to do that night that will be awesome!

No going home for Christmas for me...Home is coming down to have Christmas down here

We're moving (this weekend!) into a SFH and my parents will finally have a place to stay, rather than having to stay in a hotel.

I'm pretty excited about it.

They'll turn their visit with us into a longer vacation and continue to drive down to Florida. Wish I was going with them

oooh, I am excited now.. my sister-in-law just emailed me telling me that they are more then likely coming down for Christmas and they are going to take my 13 year old sister with them I finally get to meet my nephew

I really hope that plans don't change...

she said she still isn't sure if my parents are coming or not though

This is my last Xmas apart in Toronto, with him in NYC. We have never spend Xmas together yet, which actually doesn't bother me. But next year we will most likely come back to visit on Xmas. We shall see.

I'll be in NYC from Dec 28-Jan 4 visiting for my fiance's bday and new years and i'm looking very forward to it!

so my brother and his wife and my nephew are for sure coming for Christmas they are going to drive down to Seattle and fly to LA from there.. their tickets cost about 400 bucks for the both of them... They are getting here on the 23rd and leaving on the 31st..

Not me. I've been in NZ for 15 years, and it is another Chirstmas in the summer for me. Very hot here today, and still. It's darn hard to get in the mood for the holiday when the weather is like July. Never got used to that.

Next year I'll be in Virginia.

I have family in Midland...lol..seems strange to see so small a town so well represented.

not this year, we have apparently decided on an every other year thing and this is the other year. we may head to NOLA if the inlaws stay home and I can find hound sitters.

but, hoping to bring Moms down in January or February, depending on when my bestest friend will be in FLA as I'm going there to visit with her while she is a 8hr drive away as opposed to a 23hr drive away.

No Canadian Christmas for us - haven't accrued enough Holidays yet and we use them for both holidays and sickdays. My company is a little odd in the IT world since we can't accrue plus time either....otehrwise I would have a load of time and forsure I would be headed home for a week. My husband has tons since we haven't taken any recently and he's been at his company forever.
