The holidays are always magical and exciting for children, but let's face it: they are downright agonizing for parents. The ever increasing cost of airfare and gas makes planning and budgeting for the holidays an added stress storm, but mapping out visits to both sides of the family can feel like a hurricane.
Do you prefer to forgo the monotony of home, pack up all your travel gear, toys and activities and head to visit family, or do you like having them come to you (after you clean every nook and cranny of the house, obviously!)?

My husband and I traveled constantly to family for the holidays before we had kids, partly due to the fact that we moved almost every year. But after we had our twins, we put our foot down and decided we were staying home. Our relatives all have older kids now, so we figure it's their turn to make the trek. We're sick of the whole planes-trains-automobiles hassle of the holidays!
