Every year around this time, I try to decide if we should head to MN for Christmas or not. A whole host of emotions run through my head and heart, because I really do enjoy being with my family, especially for the holidays. At the same time, it is expensive to travel to Minnesota as many times in a year as we do, and as much as I love traveling with The Boy, it is not relaxing. I end up getting home more tired than when I left due to running around to see everyone in a short period of time and not being able to relax on the flights.
Then again, there is something about the FREEZING cold, sipping hot chocolate, and the way the lights sparkle and reflect off of the snow while enjoying the warm home of my dad and Sheri. There’s the Christmas Eve spread at my Grandma’s house, and the spread on Christmas Day on my dad’s side of the family. Kids galore. Family. Friends. Hugs. Love.
The decision is never easy… and so here I sit, trying to decide. Again. Back and forth. To go or not to go? Different year, same situation.
