The holidays are filled with hectic days of shopping, planning and
decorating. But once you've got all those gifts bought and wrapped, it's time
to deliver them.
People often make the rounds of visiting various family
members on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but what if you don't have the time
to visit everyone? How do you decide where to spend the holidays without
hurting any family member's feelings? This can often be a problem for people
that live in another state. They may make travel plans but even the best travel
arrangements can be thwarted by weather or other last minute changes.
Simple Solution: Send beautiful holidaygift baskets by mail.
Even if your family all lives locally, it can still be difficult to
determine a schedule of visitation that will make everyone happy. When couples
visit one partner's parents first every year, it may leave the other partner's
parents feeling slighted. Try to schedule your vacation so that you can spend
some time with loved ones on both sides of the family so that no one feels left
out. Change things up a bit. If you usually spend most of Christmas Day with
your family and then make a short stop at your in-laws on the way home, try a
different approach. For instance, visit your family on Christmas Eve, and have
dinner with your in-laws on Christmas Day.
If there's a battle over where you will spend the holiday, consider
hosting the day at your home instead of elsewhere. You can prepare dinner and
leave the travel arrangements to everyone else. If your parents or in-laws
always prepare dinner at their house, tell them you would like to prepare a
holiday meal for them for a change. Let them know that you appreciate their
efforts but would like to do something special for them and the rest of the
family. They will probably be delighted to take you up on your offer, and will
be willing to help in any way they can.
And for the friends and relatives that you won't be able to spend the holidays
with, keeping in touch by sending a Christmas card can make them feel special. Although, Christmas cards are wonderful to receive there's still something special about a Christmas package filled with Christmas cheer delivered to their door.
