What are your plans for the Holidays, this year?

[ArtsieAng Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close ArtsieAng]

With all that's going on with the economy, I was wondering if anyone has changed their normal holiday routine, and decided to stay home opposed to traveling for the holidays, this year.

At least timesharing makes it much easier to save some money on meals, as well as not having to shell out big money for expensive hotels.

I'll be going to my brothers house for T'Giving, which we do every year. For Xmas, we're still undecided what we're doing. I'm hoping that we can get away tho, most likely to a drivable location.

How about you?

We are going to AZ - Phoeniz and Sedona the first two weeks in November, then for Thanksgiving, my oldest Daugher and her family from Detroit are coming and my brother, his wife and oldest daughter from upstate IL are going to be her. Then for Christmas and New Years we are going to HHI.

Thanksgiving - Santa Fe, NM to visit dh's sister and bil. I still have a timeshare trade request out, but I'm not holding much hope. If it doesn't come through we'll be in a hotel.

Christmas - stay home. This is our normal for Christmas. My mom comes and spends the holidays with us.

Our Thanksgiving tradition is to gather our friends who are without family (and my sister, who also will visit) and have a big dinner at our house. Jerry will do most of the cooking, with me helping some. Irene will do the table. We'll sit and visit and relax for hours among friends.

Irene will also be here for Christmas. I think we'll go to Las Vegas We'll also get a car full of lady friends and go to Sunset Park to look at the millions of lights on display. Another day we'll all go to Canter's Deli in TI, and probably to Bonanza Gifts, aka "The world's largest souvenir shop."

Ironically, this will be the first year I am traveling during the holidays.

We will be at GM Nuevo Vallarta over Thanksgiving. I got so sick of all the T giving drama-that I booked this trip during T giving of last year. Good thing too-otherwise I doubt we could handle the airfare...I don't even have to pay for bags since I booked so long ago...but apparently, I better not become thirsty in flight and have an empty wallet

Some airlines take a credit card now.

That's a nice week to be in Nuevo Vallarta. We have been a week or so before when fares were lower and it was still very quiet but but your week may be quite busy. You'll enjoy it anyway, StressCadet. There is so much to see and do in that area.

The two of us will be at Laguna Beach again at our favorite little timeshare and we will enjoy it too.

We'll be home for Thanksgiving dinner with my DS & DD and their families, along with a few of the in-laws, then we head out to Las Vegas the next day to meet my sister for a few days. Christmas will be at my daughter's home with all the same players.
