We take the northern perimeter road around SeaTac Airport to get back and forth from my husband's family home at the holidays (any day, actually). I remember always saying "I sure hope this is the last (insert whatever holiday it is) we spend this way for a while". Then 1996 came around, and I got my wish (be careful what you wish for). Now, especially since 9/11/01, I'm so grateful that he is still flying, and still loving it. The worst part is the rest of his family, they just can't deal with absences around the holidays, mother in law always asking "when are you going to get a real/better job?". Now THAT'S crazy-making!

As always, be flexible and NEVER make your man/woman/whoever feel bad that their schedule doesn't match the calendar. The holiday isn't the day, its the meaning behind it... even if its on the 27th!

Cheers,
~Erin
