I guess that would technically work. For me, I kind of wish that the term "family" could be more broadly defined. When I think of family, I think of my nuclear family. My relatives would make up my extended family.

So yes. Me and my family are traveling to my "family", but my extended family.

Are you traveling for Christmas this year?

Yes...Well, sort of. Unfortunately, I still live with them, so to "travel" to them, I only need to travel from my bedroom to the living room.

I know that it's really considered traveling, but they didn't have an option that read "No, I still live with my parents but I'm not going anywhere"

or

"No, I still live with my parents but I will be traveling to my relatives"

The last option is what I'll be doing. With my family, I will be traveling a short distance (about 9 miles) to my relatives to celebrate Christmas with them after we have our family Christmas at home. I'm not staying with them, since I'm only a short distance away from home.

Why does this poll assume that everyone would be traveling to their parents? What if they still live with them?

The answers weren't crafted the best, but I guess it's better than having 30 options... :P

I guess it just comes down to tradition. Christmas has been celebrated for hundreds of years and I am among some that want to keep that tradition alive. Commercialized or not, Christmas is here to stay. As far as I know, I know that I'm not going to buy any gifts for Boxing Day or New Year's...Christmas is the only "holiday" that I'm buying gifts for.

But I digress. Call me old-fashioned and traditional, but I like it that way. :)

Safe? I came from the era before safe spaces even existed. Snowflakes didn't exist either...

Because everyone treats "Christmas" like it's a swear word now. Urr...I hate political correctness...
