no, not much. i live so far out in the country that either family comes to camp out or nothing. this year their spending it in chicago, thats just too far to go...
early happy tidings to you and yours

Thank you Free. Same to you !

Luckily no. Right no gas prices are low - thank goodness! ANd luckily I fully pre-paid a holiday I am taking in March back before the economic train smash happened! If I hadn't I would have cancelled. Exchange rates have dropped badly since then.

Yes, the exchange rate has gone into the dumps for sure!

My family will be hitting the roads, Ron. My son and daughter will be traveling here. And my husband, TMAN will be here by Christmas too! :)
I guess I'll be doing most of my traveling around here. Wanna come to our big bon fire we're planning again for New Year's Eve? With all the winds we've been having, there's lots of pecan wood already piled up for an all-nighter. Besides all the fireworks we can see from the beach, ours will be amazing too! You are more than welcome to join us! :)

Sounds like a great plan! I would love to ship you some of our snow!

Not at all. We went back to PA for T-day as planned. We are staying in WA for the rest of the holidays, as planned.

We did add a vacation to Cali. to our plans for after the holidays though. We will be in between assignments. We'd have done that anyway though.

Excellent planning!

no problem to me (*_-)!

No. Every year the same. I cook, and clean up after everybody. Total work day for me.

You need a break too!

Yes, my job cut or wages about 1/3, in the begining of December, I don't know how I'm gonna pay all my bills, let alone go on our vacation, we have to conserve and cut bcak now.

I'm afraid you are not alone in it this year. It's gonna be tough for many.
