Default Oh there's no place like home for the Holidays

Heading home tonight for the Holidays and I'm pretty excited. I'm a huge Christmas fan and can't wait to see my family. The brother won't be there, off to the east coast with the finacee but that's okay, he's a Canucks fan.

Anyone else home, going home, for the Holiday season?

Yeah, I'm off to Kamloops tommorrow, but I'm coming through the North end. Still I'm always a bit leary driving through the mountains at this time of year. Thankfully the Yellowhead is at least worthy of being a second world highway and it doesn't have that much traffic. I don't envy you having to drive that embarassment known as the TransCanada.

Flying from Dallas up to Nelson. Unfortunately I am supposed to go through Colorado. Fingers crossed on that one...

Leaving for Calgary tomorrow morning to spend the holidays with the parents and my brothers and their families. Flying home on Jan 1 - hopefully I make it home in time to catch the Orange Bowl. The only thing I'm going to miss is my Christmas morning surf

We are leaving at lunch today to head up to Northern-BC. My family has a large get together every year. They think we are staying in Calgary this year because of our new baby, but we are going to surprise them.

There is definitely something about being home and around friends and family that makes Christmas what it is.

Since my parents moved out of town 10 years ago it just isn't the same anymore. For the past 3 years we have stayed home and now the grandparents come to our place

Just got back to Calgary last night. This will be my first "homecoming" christmas..It does feel pretty cool. I think i'm gonna enjoy all the little things and just being home and eating my mom's home cooked meals again.
