After the shenanigans H's parents have pulled this year, we decided we didn't want to spend any extra time with them for the holidays. But I'm also being selfish and I really don't want to go to NC to spend them with my family either. Their house won't be done until after the New Year, so we'd basically sit around their apartment. And we'd have to spend money to fly there.
So we decided to ditch everyone and spend Thanksgiving in the Finger Lakes. I'm so effing excited, you have no idea. This is currently the front runner: http://www.vrbo.com/154182

I'm dreading the conversation I'll have to have with my Mom about this, but honestly? I'm getting really pissed at being the one who has to travel all the damn time. They visited us once in Phoenix and once in Boston. I can't even tell you how many times we've been home, and our one vacation this year was down to NC.
It's time for them to travel, you know? I love my family dearly, but it's getting ridiculous.

Dude, that is a good idea. A really good idea. I want to steal it and go to the beach.
I was going to say there's nothing wrong with being selfish. But dude. Not selfish. They need to come see you if they want to see you.
The nerve!

You could make it a week-long trip and do the Deck the Halls event they do at Seneca Lake every year. It's awesome. $70 for two gets you three days of 30+ wineries, with food and wine tastings at each one, plus a grape vine wreath that you get ornaments to decorate with at each winery.

That is a really good idea!
I don't want to go away, but I'm tired of driving all over creation on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I think once Ian understands Christmas, we're going to start having people over at our house rather than travelling around.
Dammit, that holiday thing looks fun!
Kay--we would totally host but we have no room at our place. And I'm sure if we did offer, they wouldn't come up. They're weird like that.
Also, we're spending Christmas at my BIL's house in CT. Oh well!

We always end up traveling at the holidays. I want to not deal with it this year. Last year we didn't go anywhere for Thanksgiving (well, Lorne's grandma's, but that's only a 45 min. drive) and it was the most relaxed I've been on a holiday weekend ever.
Seriously. This year I spent them with my dad, stepmom, and the kids. It was awesome because even though there was some traveling, I didn't have to coordinate any of it. I got to just hop in the minivan, listen to my ipod, and nap. Having to run here, there, and everywhere is overrated.

Woooooooo I'm crashing Bethie's Thanksgiving!!!
I hate holidays since getting married. Hate.
