I hate packing up all the Christmas things. It just seems like it takes a lot longer to pack it up than unpacking and putting it all out.
When we do go home-every other year and a 14 hour drive- I hate rushing around trying to fit everyone in. It would be nice if everyone could just come to us, I mean we did just drive 14 hours with 2 kids...but it just doesn't work like that.
those are the 2 main things I can do without during Christmas time. The last will happen this year because we are staying home!
