It may seem a bit odd to be thinking about Christmas already but it is actually only just over 6 months away meaning if you are planning a trip away during the festive period you may need to start planning it now. Sometimes Christmas can be quite stressful, it can put a financial strain on you and your family, you may worry about who you are going to spend the day with as many people have quite a few family members that they would like to see on the big day. It can be hard trying to fit in seeing everyone and this can actually cause disagreements between couples. If you have young children then they will probably want to spend time playing with their new toys and not having to travel around for hours in the car.

Getting away during the festive period can take a lot of the pressure off. Yes, it will, of course, cost you a bit more money, and you will have to pack to go away but it does mean that you will be able to spend time with your loved ones without having to plan exactly where you need to go on Christmas day. If you really want to spend time with all your family, then why not discuss all going away together. Once you have all gone to the location you can relax, and enjoy Christmas together without anyone having to travel. Also, it is often cheaper to rent a large cottage or farmhouse if there are multiple families.
