Christmas holidays

I don't like Christmas but I would go to make memories with my family.

As Maw says what's not to like?!

Please can I come too, maw and dragonfly?

I'm afraid OP, you have answered your own question. You don't want to go.

It's a long time till December, if it's going to worry you.

Shall we book it now Dragonfly? ?

In some ways you might enjoy the atmosphere of a ski resort at Christmas, lots of festive food and pretty scenery. My worry would be that I would end up child minding when they weren't skiing and even catering if you're in a chalet. If it's really to keep your younger daughter company, could you pass some of the time in cafés and shopping, but also allow gor some free time on your own to read or snooze?

Don't go if you don't want to.
It really is that simple.

I bought DD sturdy snow boots when she worked there and they came home unworn because all the pavements were kept clear.
There are other things going on besides ski-ing and it could be fun to spend Christmas there.
In fact, quite magical!

I am with you Maw!

I do not like snow, ice or cold weather so I also would prefer to stay in my own home doing my own thing and being comfortable.

When I read the post the first thing that came to my mind was there was a free babysitter for a few children!

I would go partly because I think a snowy Christmas with Glühwein and Lebkuchen and Strudel and all that après ski malarkey would be magical and partly to keep your D company.
A couple of good books , being together as a family BUT no responsibility for Christmas Dinner and strains of Stille Nacht - what’s not to like?

Yes I’d take your option Sara65.

I’m not sure I’d want to go to be honest, it’s never appealed to me, I’d be much happier at home in front of the fire, with a good book and a large G&T

amt101 big ski resorts cater for non-skiers also. At Christmas it will be decorated beautifully.

Buy some sturdy boots, but I have found that the pavements are usually cleared of snow especially in Austria.
It will be lovely to make memories with your children and grandchildren, go and enjoy yourself.
