Do You Have A Magic Holiday Memory?

About 23 years ago, I was fed up with the shuttle around to all the relatives on Christmas. I was trying to reclaim the holiday for my own young ( my oldest was 6) family and I booked a room at a family style inn for Christmas in a rural part of the state.
It took us about 8 hours to get there- much longer than I realized and we barely made dinner. But after dinner there was a full moon & a meadow just outside the door with a practice loop for cross country skiing.
We skied around the loop enthralled by the moon and the stars and it made such an impression that our family celebrated Christmas there for the next 20 years.
