I always get so jealous of my friends who live in the same city as both of their sets of parents. Frogger and I are the complete opposite. We live here in Arizona, my parents live in Michigan and his live in Seattle.
Behold my fancy map skills….don’t laugh.
Now that we are very close to the wedding, we have started the dreaded conversations about how to split our time with our families during the holidays. How lucky for us that not only do our parents live in different states…they are about as far apart as you can get.
We came up with a variety of ways to try to decide:
- Do the every other year thing so it’s evenly split.
- Flip a coin and go with whatever the results may be.
- Try to have one family celebrate early or late so we can hit both celebrations each year.
- Do Christmas with one and NYE with the other.
- Not travel at all and have them come to us (highly unlikely).
- Some yet to be discovered, dream-come-true solution…I’m hearing crickets, this isn’t a good sign.
We have yet to really decide how to make this work. Both of our families have traditions that we want to be a part of and both of our families want us to be there to celebrate with them. We feel very loved but very torn.
Anyone else run into this challenge with family holidays/events? Please tell me one of you is smarter than we are and can provide some guidance…we’re desperate for a good solution.
