They say there's no place like home for the holidays, but for us, the magic of Christmas is not lost when we don't wake up in our own beds Christmas morning. The magic of Christmas for our family is cousins piling on each other like puppies, Grandma baking too many cookies, and aunts and uncles bantering. Santa still finds us, and we get to share the excitement with our extended family. We may not have Christmas at home, but it's our holiday tradition, and it's special to us. Christmas may never be at "home," but home is when we are all together.
