Enjoy a Christmas Away from Home this Year

Celebrating the holidays away from home at a travel destination? Spending a family Christmas vacation at a resort can be a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays and can be a great way to break out of the ordinary! Be sure to follow these few tips to make sure you don’t miss a step to ensuring your family has a wonderful holiday vacation away from home!

1. Play Santa

Be sure to wrap your gifts early if you plan on taking them for the trip. Be sure to package your gifts much more carefully than you would normally, especially if they are fragile, to avoid any damage that may occur during your travels. If you don’t have much extra room to travel with your gifts, ship them before you leave home. If you ship to the address that you will be arriving at, it will save you from traveling with them.

2. Don’t Forget

To ensure that you have a great family vacation, be sure that your trip and your planned activities are enjoyable for everyone in the family. Before you finalize any details, sit down with your entire family and make sure that each person has a say in something they would like to do while on vacation. Also, be sure that you have set aside enough time on your trip so that everyone can enjoy their favorite activities.

3. Weather Planning

If you are planning on partaking in outside activities, be sure to check the weather forecast. If you are going to check out one of Lake Geneva’s special holiday events while you’re in town, be sure you know the weather ahead and pack accordingly.

4. Arrive Early

When making travel plans, always check for road construction and road closings. The last thing you want to do on your way to your vacation destination is to get stuck in traffic if you can avoid it. Also be sure to leave at the appropriate time to avoid rush hour or congested roads.

5. Santa Questions

Planning on celebrating Christmas morning while you’re on vacation? When your children start asking questions like “How will Santa find me if I’m away from home,” have your responses ready and reply with reassurance that Santa is always watching!

And most importantly……….Have a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
