<p>Kirmum, I’m in the jealous camp for sure. D already said that next year for Christmas, instead of doing our usual rush/spend/decorate/cook/stress tradition, she wants to book a hotel room somewhere on a very desolate beach for just the two of us(wonder where she thinks we’ll find one) and just pack bathing suits, and tons of books - all the great books we both want to read and cannot fit in - and just swim, read, eat and sleep. No telephones, no internet, no PDA, no forwarding addresses, no communication with anyone else. </p>
<p>Trouble is, we can probably only spare two to three weeks, no way to do an entire year.</p>
