We figured since this will be our last Christmas as singles, we'd spend it with our respective families.
I'm here in Akron. She's in Boston with her parents. I'll be flying out there next weekend for New Year's.
Not really a bad idea. The hardest thing is to be able to start your own traditions. In my experience, the families seem to keep track of who you spent the holidays with the previous year!!!! And they let you know it!!!!! :) Not saying that they don't mean well, but it can be trying.
