This year my parents are taking my brother, sisters and I on a Christmas vacation to Branson, Missouri. They're so excited! I don't remember the last time we all went on a vacation together. Great idea on my dad's part :).

They tried to keep it a secret, but my mom had to spill the beans. The plan is to head to Branson on Christmas (I may have to go the day after because I'll be working), then visit Silver Dollar City for "An Old Time Christmas" and other activities. http://www.bransonsilverdollarcity.com/ I've never been to Silver Dollar City so I'm very excited!

Do you and your family take any special trips over the holidays? Or maybe your trip is a present like this one from my parents. Either way, share your vacation experience!
