Top 20 Reasons to ditch your families for a romantic holiday getaway

1. Holiday promotions!

Getaway deals during the holidays are too good to pass up. Just check out Expedia.com for holiday-getaway deals. And the best part is, while everyone is with their families during the holidays, you and your love will have the pool to yourselves at the resort.

2. Romance is in the air.

The holidays are one of the most romantic times of the year. Why would you pass up being alone with your lover? No question, your family is important, but the holidays also mean celebrating your love and appreciation for each other.

3. You just saw your family on Thanksgiving.

One more holiday within a one-month radius with your family can get a bit much. After you eat turkey and stuffing with them later this November, you and your man can ditch them next month for a celebration of your own.

4. Your other loved ones will understand.

That's right -- don't worry, your family won't get too upset. Just tell them that you and your beau want to vacay. They shouldn't take it personally. And if they do, well then thank goodness you're getting away from not-so-understanding folks.

5. You can rekindle the flame.

You and your man have likely been stressed out with work, finances and whatever else. You two can use a time away from it all. Get away so you can recharge together. Deal with the world and reality when you come back.
