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

(page 4 of 4)

16. Take a break from the office.

Hardly anyone else will be in the office so it's the best time to go on vacation. You won't be missing much. Being at work while everyone is away could be a little depressing, too.

17. Decompress!

You and your love can finally relax before you welcome in 2009. The stress-free time you will have while you and your love are away on vacation can do wonders for your mind and your love life. Shake things up with some fun instead of shaking things up at home by arguing about life's many worries.

18. Enjoy each other.

Enjoy each other's company without putting up with holiday stress. Don't argue about whose family's house you're going to this year. That's always an argument couples have. Instead of picking one's family over the other's, choose each other and book a trip stat.

19. They'll be green with envy.

Make everyone jealous of you. Don't lie -- you love the feeling of bestowing envy upon others. You and your lovebug can make everyone feel bad and miserable as they stick it out during super-cold weather and holiday madness. While everyone's all peeved by being home this holiday season, you'll be sailing away to a good time with your baby.

20. Do what makes you happy!

Do what you feel like doing instead of what your family wants to do. Make your own choices. Ditch the family because you want to. Who cares what they want? Do what's best for you. Give them presents upon your return, of course. You don't want to be the bad seed of the family now.
