Where are you going and what are you doing?
Do you go to the same spot each year or somewhere different.
We'll be having Christmas at my Dad's at Piha and staying in Auckland for a week visiting Rangitoto and prob the Zoo.
But now I live an 8 hour drive from Akl need to find somewhere a bit closer to home.

We are going to Ruakaka for 12 days which is a huge drive from here, but will be worth it as i'll get to see my cousins, spend time just relaxing, so looking forward to it.

We're the traveller hub this year.
We're staying put, but people are coming to us.
Family and from the States and Canada, Auckland and Wellington will be here at various points over the Christmas - March period.

This summer ain't looking so good for me. DP is needing spine surgery in January so I'll be likely looking after him

Oh that sucks lemongirl, I hope things go well.
We aren't doing anything. DH is taking 2 weeks off but there are 3 speedway meetings on during that time. Will probably have lunch with DH's mums family, and dinner with his parents (just a chilled laid back dinner) followed by dominoes.

Nothing for us this year, I'll either be HUGE and hot and sticky or we'll be very new parents
As kids we used to go to the same camp spot just north of Taupo every year. DF and I are getting into camping and are on the hunt for the perfect spot to make our regular

We're having Xmas in Chch with MIL, then on Boxing Day morning heading to Omarama (Mackenzie Country) to camp riverside for 2 weeks with my family. Family tradition that was started about 45 years ago, my grandma still goes and she's 76 (and probably the busiest one of us all down there as she won't sit still).
DH gets a month off, so he'll still be on holiday for Jack's bday so we'll probably have a party for that too.

We never do anything over summer as DH works constantly over that time, I have gotten use to it, but reading everyones holiday plans makes me wish we were going camping or at least doing a weekend trip somewhere.
I will probably do lots of trips to the beach with DD and Christmas will be at my parents place just down the road.

We'll be new parents too, so not a lot going on here. Staying around home a lot should be good.

We never go away over Christmas/NY as that is when everyone goes away so there are always too many people and loud children for our liking.
We leave our holiday until February when all of the lovely wee children are safely back in their schools

Staying home probably, DH has just started a new job so won't have any leave. We've also just brough a new house so I will probably spend my leave time gardening and sanding woodwork....
