Christmas travel

The other day, I overheard two women talking about the upcoming holidays. One said the holidays are sort of humdrum because all her immediate family lives nearby and she sees them all the time anyway.
The other said she’d be happy to trade her eight-hour Christmas drive.
The grass is always greener, isn’t it? Or, considering the season, maybe I should say the snow is always whiter.
Whether the relatives are far or near, both have their advantages. Sure, it’s a lot of work to load everything and start early enough to get to Grandma’s in time for dinner. And the drive home late in the day is, well, late. But it sort of sets the day apart from the rest of the year.
The drive is a lot more convenient if you live close to the relatives, but there’s not a lot of catching up to do, especially if you see them often.
How about you? Will you be traveling over the river and through the woods this year? Or does Grandma live nearby?
Or will you be hosting a flock of family and friends who will be traveling to Brandon for Christmas?
