Christmas Traditions
Traditions are an important part of every family and every holiday. When I was a kid, I remember looking forward to Christmas Eve and it’s traditions, which included Santa, gifts and spending time with family. It was also one of two nights every year that I could stay up really late (that’s important to kids).
Part of each families tradition might also include travel. Whether it is traveling short distances to visit family or traveling half-way across the world for a special family vacation, holiday travel is special. Providing an experience, whether it be family or cultural, can be a wonderful gift for any child. Travel is the gift that creates a lifetime of memories.
No matter what your traditions, spend quality time with your family this holiday season and if you choose to travel, do it safely and watch out for Santa’s sleigh.

As I began conveying to my wife the unpleasant contents of an e-mail we had just received, I could see the overwhelming stress start to overtake her calm demeanor; I could see the mental list under construction in her head. My reaction was quite different – I thought, maybe now would be a good time for a vacation. Read the rest of this entry »
