If you were at home this year but really wanted to be on the road, you wouldn't be "all" there. <br /><br />Maybe even a little resentful because you're not doing what you really want to do. @Dave and Deb

Maybe even a little resentful because you're not doing what you really want to do.

It is wonderful to be with family when you really want to be. While we are traveling this year, I am missing being with everyone during the holidays, but it makes it that much better when we see them all again! Well said.

That's what you're there for anyway... @No Hurry Curry

Keeping yourself busy and just enjoying yourself is how you get over not being home. That's what you're there for anyway…

Cathay has to be the Michael Jordan of the airline industry.<br /><br />This post definitely "hit home" with me as well - it sucks being away from home for the holidays, but I'm sure I'll appreciate it that much more next year. Although I suppose ziplining through the Thailand jungle with the wife does make for a good Christmas as well.

I feel like skipping Christmas wouldn't be a big deal if I'm in another country...seems like there'd just be way too many other things to keep me occupied. So true.

I never even thought about the holidays or my birthday last year. If you make yourself happy you can be happier for the people around you.<br /><br />@darlene<br />"Everyday holidays" - indeed. Sometimes you just want to do something different and not worry about your fam. Doesn't mean you don't love them any less. @A
