Year after year I have battle the throngs in the department stores looking for gifts, spent way too much money, went to friends houses and ate really bad food, went to relatives and watched fights break out between family members, put up the tree, lights, cooked myself, rushed, stressed, and then did it all over again.
This year tried something a little different, and now have decided it will be a new tradition for me and my boys. We took a 12 day holiday cruise to the carribean. I had a great time, was spoiled, had great food, parasailed, skydived, snorkled, swam with dolphins, ate some more, slept in a very large veranda suite, had someone to wait on me hand and foot, and clean the suite everyday. I spent christmas on a island sipping rum out of a pineapple and getting some sun(like I really needed to be browner than I am)
I have vowed never to go back to the old traditional way of doing christmas as it was too stressful and to much work. I have already booked next year trip, a 17 day hawaii trip.
