Vermont is the land of the changing seasons and right in the middle of the two most popular, fall and winter, is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a unique holiday, one that isn’t centered around presents or glitz and glam. Thanksgiving is about gratitude and family and simply enjoying everything that is around you. While traditionally, people might imagine themselves gathered around grandma’s table to share the family meal, another option has become more and more popular.
Traveling for Thanksgiving
For some people, traveling for Thanksgiving is the norm. They drive across states to return to their childhood home, to visit in-laws, and to reunite with the people that they love most. However, not everybody travels home. We have families who have been joining us for generations. With full kitchens, cabins of all sizes, and the gorgeous Vermont scenery, it’s a natural pick for those who aren’t planning to spend it at home.
The stress of returning to your childhood home, the frustration of deciding who will host, or simply outgrowing your space can all factor in when a family decided to host Thanksgiving away from home. Plus, you might not have a giant family to spend time with this season and even if you do, let’s be honest, we don’t always want to.
