This week’s Photo Friday post features a photo of our then 3-year-old Devon taking in the sunset in Mexico on Christmas day. Like everything in life, vacationing during the holidays is a trade-off. During this time of year you overpay for rooms and flights, quite possibly experience some sort of travel hassle, and it is more work to transport gifts—but once you arrive, the joys of being in a wonderful destination set in, and you aren’t caught in the seemingly endless cycles of cooking and cleaning experienced when the holidays are at home.

We stayed home this year and I have to say—despite being exhausted with all the logistics, it was relaxing, cozy, and fun. Although on this “day after”—I’m looking at the holiday carnage and dreaming of that beach in Mexico …

    Lovely! We spent Christmas Eve/Day in Merida Mexico when I was a teen & I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was so festive on Christmas Eve with Pinatas and decorations everywhere.

    You’re right about how being away from home for the holidays gives you a pass on all of the frantic cleaning/cooking/entertaining cycle at home. It’s one of the reasons we’re usually gone over Thanksgiving weekend :)

    I always like photos of empty, and near-empty, beaches like this. They always seem so peaceful.
