If your family vacation is just going to your parents or grandparents home be prepared to help with the cooking and cleaning. As parents age, taking on the task of entertaining a number of family members can be overwhelming. You might want to consider carrying pre-cooked items with you.
Enjoying a family Christmas vacation doesn't have to be expensive. It might just be to visit a scenic site in your state that is close to home. Just take the opportunity to do something different with the family. |
