Does it bother you to be on the road at Christmas? Would you prefer to be home?

i dont mind travelling over the holidays and have done some over the years. it doesnt really mattter where or when i celebrate christmas as long as i celebrate the holiday with friends and family and all that are close to me. thats what i like the most about the holiday season.

Yes, it does bothers me and it feels strange too because it is less traffic on the road. Most people will be with friends and family and you and a few more stragglers are all alone on the road.

With the petrol prices and not having the need to drive I hardly ever use the car now my friend, probably once a week to go to the gym on a Sunday when public transport is not as regular. I used to travel a few days before the holidays when staying at my parents for Christmas so I would avoid travelling during the holiday period. I have been fortunate in the past that I haven't needed to drive during the holidays.

I actually like it. Considering how high gas prices were this year, we have not travelled much at all. We live 2 and 1/2 hours away from both sets of parents. They all live in the city that I grew up in. So having Christmas there is having Christmas at home. Since we are the only ones of our siblings who live in our area, it seems logical that we do the travelling. I've never had to have all the stress and strain of having to host Christmas in our own home either. All in all, I'm really looking forward to the holidays!

I have always liked to travel, but now that my husband and I have been married for a year and will eventually start a family of our own, I'm not sure how much longer I'll want to travel. My parents are in Florida most winters, so it's fun to visit and do lots of stuff in Orlando. However, I do miss not seeing snow on Christmas if I'm not at home.

I definitly prefer to be home for Christmas. If you have children, than you will understand. There is nothing more special that to see the look on your childs face when they come downstairs and see all the presents Santa brought. I think if you don't have children our a significate other, than traveling wouldn't be bad, for but for a family man, I am at home with my family!

I can take it either way. If it means getting to see the grand kids, I am glad to go on the road. Christmas is in my heart, and with my family. When the kids were young we did stay home, so they could have time with their new stuff. We would travel during the week between Christmas and New Years, but make sure to be off the road New Year's Eve and Day. That is for safety sake.
