38. Pack Up Kids, We’re Going to Grandma’s

The holiday season is a time of warmth, family, and—if you’re the OP—strategic relocation. It’s a common belief that a clean house is a happy house, but maintaining that festive sparkle with the whole crew around is like trying to keep snow from melting in your hands.

So, the OP, in a stroke of comedic genius, suggests the family take a little holiday of their own, ensuring that the only footprints in the freshly vacuumed carpet are Santa’s. It’s the kind of holiday planning that puts the “silent” in “Silent Night.” Who knew that the best way to spread Christmas cheer was sending everyone out far, not near? Cheers to that!
