When you live far from family and friends, the holiday season is always the time of the year that you miss them the most. Homesickness really sets in when you think about the family get-togethers you're missing and the socializing going on over all the food that smells so yummy. KC and I have been talking about how nice it would be to live closer to family. Our only dilemma...snow! We both have had our fair share of snow and have NO desire whatsoever to live anywhere that it snows, ever again! This really limits our choices.
I haven't been home for the holidays since 2009 when I still lived at home. The reason for that comes down to two things: 1) snow and 2) plane tickets are so much higher around the holidays. I wish airlines would drop their prices...wouldn't that be nice!? Not to mention, all the other expenses that go into traveling; it can get pretty pricey. I'm thinking, I might try to go home next year for Thanksgiving. It's definitely long over due.
I keep myself busy during holidays to help distract myself from missing family. This year, I booked us tickets to see Pippin, we've lined up some light shows to check out, we're eating at a buffet for Thanksgiving dinner, we plan to check out some Black Friday deals, and then Friday afternoon, we're heading to Laughlin for a weekend getaway. It should be a great time; I can't wait!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Be sure to hug your family and let them know you're thankful for them!
xoxo
