The "I have to travel on Christmas" thread

[led37zep]

Here's a place to grip, complain or post about where you have to travel on Christmas.

I have to wake up at 4am to travel to the Airport in Denver so I can make it to my fiances families house (in LA) by breakfast. WOOO HOOOOO!!!!

Where YOU going?

boyfriend gets home around 8am from work. hopefully he gets to catch some sleep tonight in the on call room cause we have to get up & drive 3 hours to brooklyn tomorrow morning. we then have to see the whole family & do all that crap before driving back up here tomorrow evening cause he has work at 6am friday. awesome.



i hate greek christmas. i hope his mom is cooking something before we go see the rest of the family. 3 day old souvlaki blows.

I have to be up by 12:30 to drive 15 minutes to my moms for 1:00. I hate it

[underdog]

I have to drive 40 minutes south to go to my parents.

If I lived any further, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves and then mail me my presents. I already make them drive to me for Thanksgiving. Fuck flying around holidays. I worked in the airline industry long enough to know what an absolute disaster that is.

My commute isn't quite as short, but I don't have to be there until 3pm.

In closing, we rule, Johnnie.

Spending Christmas alone doesn't count.

How old is she?

[PapaBear]

Mid to late 20's.

[Coach]

Mid to late 20's.

That's the setup for a horror movie.

No. In a horror movie, she'd be traveling with at least one friend. Someone has to live.

Good point, Good point.

First... I had no idea you were an American Indian.
Second... How can you possibly be at 6 reservations at 7:30?
Third... American Indians have mass?

I don't envy you, dude!

I don't know what a catholic mass is like in Papa bear land...but in North Jersey you're out in an hour! They wouldn't make any money if you had to stay longer!!

Already done traveling. 5 hours down to S. Maryland on Tuesday. Christmas with the SMIBs! We get to come back north on Sunday on 95 with everyone else. Should be a joy.

gots nowheres to travel

[EliSnow]

I had to travel 2 1/2 hours to my brother-in-law's, which wouldn't be so bad except most of the people are his in-law's, including his wife's cousins.

[Lady Resin]

5 minutes to my brothers. Had to stop at the liquor store. 2 minutes to get home.:smile:

[Friday]

just got home from my annual trek to long island to see my mom's side of the fam.
i like to say that long island should be cut off and pushed out to sea... what a pain it is to get there!

on the way there on wed, i Did make an hour long detour to stop at the bakery in my hometown where we always get the pastries... because i am crazy.
the ride home was trafficky but worth it.

good times had by all.
