ugh, I see your dilemma now. I definitely would not want to do the one they offered you that has you sitting on a layover all Christmas day. Yuck. I thought maybe that flight just left late and that could be good but that's obviously not the case.
I'm just not sure what I would do. I'd almost lean towards the staying home and doing the whole Eve thing and Christmas morning with the family and then just having to get in late on Christmas day. Only because Christmas is so hectic and you have the in-laws to deal with and a really cool reveal to do, and Mass at your own church, etc etc so it's almost like just stay home and enjoy all that stuff on it's own and then kick into the vacation mode instead of mingling them all together. Does that make sense?
But then again, I can't make up my mind about a thing anyway
Hmmm.... sitting here chewing on the flight dilemma... I think you just have to decide what is not going to make you anxious about the trip... home for Christmas Eve/Midnight Mass, and leaving Christmas Day as planned (not sure if it's cost prohibitive??) and therefore being able to 'do the family thing' - you were able to get that early morning flight out to come home giving you more time there... OR if that just all makes you sick to your stomach... then dive in and add a little extra planning by going Christmas Eve, reworking the reveal, determine where to spend midnight mass (God would most definitely understand - he knows our hearts wherever we are), and you have a legitimate reason to offer the in-laws to help them understand why it worked out this way.
I don't know if I'm any help but you know we had to rework our trip with the school schedule for Eddie and after we finally made a decision, the anxiousness passed.
). I am wondering if I should go ahead and book at this hight price or wait until Tuesday when the next round of Kayak comes out? I probably will wait...what is 4 more days?! Eternity when you want to finalize plans...
