Changing the date of the family gathering is great for savings. However, you can not change the date of the traditionnal midnight mass. It’s a question of choosing your priorities.

We did this! My boyffriend was able to get $89 each way flights to Ft Lauderdale from Sacramento, because he is traveling Dec 11th-18th. His college age daughter is already home for winter break, so it worked out perfectly. Not to mention, he will be back in California in time to celebrate Christmas with my family. Win-Win.

I like it and if you change it to the day or so *after* Christmas you can save on gifts from the true clearance sales. And ornaments too.

What about Christmas in January? 1/11 anyone?

With my family in England travel can be hideously expensive. One year we moved Christmas to the beginning of November. =) Worked like a charm. Plus, we got to be there for Guy Fawkes’ Night. =)

Re: Jeff.

So interesting. That’s the exact same principle as short-selling. I wonder how many stores give credit for gifts that are returned! It would be so easy to ask for credit, come back two weeks later, and buy the same stuff at a lower price.
