sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As with many families we are growing and spreading out.\u00a0 Most of my family is back in NY, one section is in CT and my husband and I are in Canada.\u00a0 This makes the holidays interesting.\u00a0 This year was my grandmother&#8217;s 100th birthday and so we all (except my mom, then pregnant sister and niece who had to run track for college) traveled down to florida for it.\u00a0 We had a great time but it meant my husband spent the days he would have spent on Epiphany off work on that, also, we spent the money we would have paid to travel on that.\u00a0 Still, we are traveling, just not to my family.\u00a0 For Christmas we are spending it with his family in Ontario, and even better we are meeting our very good friend who lives in BC and spending all that time with him.\u00a0 Batman (the nickname online I use for this friend) is awesome and we miss him lots.\u00a0 Since he moved out to BC we don&#8217;t get to see him much so this will be a great trip.\u00a0 Already we are making plans for D&amp;D and ShadowRun games, viewings of Tron (Original and the new one) and so forth.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p>For Epiphany, I will be traveling to NY alone and while my husband really wants to go and be there this is one of the sacrifices we have to make.\u00a0 We have to get used to it, we live really far from both our families and he is in the military, so there are sacrifices to be made.<\/p>\n<p>We have no need for a tree since we won&#8217;t be home, the lights, stockings and decorations will all stay in the box in the basement this year.<\/p>\n<p>While some of my family and friends are celebrating Chanukah and others are getting their trees up and decking the halls I have been plotting and scheming.\u00a0 I love giving presents, LOVE it.\u00a0 This year we were able to get a lot of it done early, as of today there are only two gifts left I think to get.\u00a0 Oh, and presents for each other.\u00a0 My husband already knows what he is getting from me, and even though the money I was hoping to pay for it didn&#8217;t come in yet, I think I am still getting it for him.\u00a0 A PS3, it&#8217;s a big gift, it costs way more then I should be spending, but, it will make him happy and I&#8217;m amazed he held out this long on buying one.\u00a0 I will need to have something for him to open on Christmas though, a trinket of some sort.\u00a0 Other then that, my plotting and scheming continues for the last two gifts, I love playing Santa.<\/p>\n<p>What I hate doing is waiting to give people their presents, I want to give them now.\u00a0 More then getting anything I love giving presents, seeing people&#8217;s faces light up when they open something I know they&#8217;ll love.\u00a0 It makes me so happy to give them that smile.<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s your favorite part of the season?\u00a0 What does your family do differently?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year when talking about the holidays I will drop words like Epiphany, Kris Kringle and Kings Cake only to have baffled looks
