Hello and Happy Wednesday!
This morning I had my first awkward boob sweat situation. It’s weird that this hasn’t happened to me before, but I usually get completely sweaty not just in this areola area. I think it’s the combo of the shirt and sports bra I was wearing.
Breakfast of Monicans… EGGS for days
Last night I made a healthy pull apart bread and proceeded to eat half of it. It was AWESOME. Recipe coming soon!

Despite my plan to stay healthy during my 6 weeks of back to back races I ended up getting sick right after Disney’s Wine and Dine Half Marathon. I got a flu shot, I took Vitamin C but I still ended up with a cough that would not go away!
Seriously I had it for the longest time and hit up CVS for Ricola cough drops multiple times so when a company rep reached out to do a giveaway I was all about it!
Especially since at that point I gave Ben my cough – note: he opened the Ricola package right away and I didn’t get a picture of the awesome box they sent it in!
Anyway. I am usually a fan of the store brand versions of things, but Ricola cough drops are no joke – especially when you travel as much as I do and don’t want to be that gross cougher on the plane. You gotta go with the legit stuff!
So Ricola is helping one RER reader NOT be that gross cougher with a Soothing Relief fit AND a $100 gift card!

I am traveling to my parents in Iowa
Both-ish. Staying home and then traveling about 20 minutes up the road to visit family. Looking forward to both!
I’m going to my in law’s place. They live nearby.
Traveling to see both of our families.
We are celebrating the holidays at home in sunny South Florida where most of our family resides.
We’ll be staying in town, but making the rounds between sides of the family.
Travelled. Back home in South OC!!! I’d say maybe I’ll see you out on the Laguna Hills trails, but I pulled my hip flexor #majorwasteofgoodrunningweather 😛
We are very blessed to have my family very close. We will spend the night at our house and then drive 5 miles to my parents house. My husbands family is spread out so we will most likely drive 30 miles to his brothers house.
We are lucky enough to have most of our family nearby. We celebrate with my husband’s family on Christmas Eve, and then we do a big breakfast/brunch and presents at our house with my mom and stepson on Christmas Day!
Home then to syracuse ny the day after
I’m traveling to CA to be with family and friends! I can’t wait! Happy Holidays everyone!
Hmmm, does going 5 miles down the road to my parents house count as traveling for the holidays? It’s great being so close to everyone all year round 🙂
I’ll be spending the morning at home with my hubby, then the afternoon/evening with his parents, siblings, and their kids (only about 45 min. away).
Home! Luckily my family and my fiance’s family is in the same city so we can spend time with both! 🙂
I was planning to travel but those plans fell through. Will be staying home in NY now!
Staying home and enjoying it with our little ones!
I’ll be staying home for the most part but might go visit a friend.
At home with my husband.
Both! Home for Christmas Day, visiting friends at night. Traveling to see family for Christmas #2 on Saturday. Lots of celebrating! 🙂
I’m happy to report that I am staying put!!!
Travel, travel, travel. We visit as many people as we can fit in. CRAZY!
I’m celebrating at home this year.Looking forward to good food & lots of relaxation!
Both, my family is all local but we have to make the rounds to see everyone.

Traveling to Disney world and then to friends. We will be back for New years Eve to celebrate with local friends.
Happy Holidays!

Mostly staying at home with the husband, though we may make the 2 hour drive to see his family the weekend after Xmas. It’ll be nice and quiet, that’s for sure. 🙂
Both home with my family and traveling to visit the husband’s family
Well this year we are going to my brother-in-laws.
we were going to Christmas dinner home but after shopping for everyone we are really short on money and I would only be able feed my family chicken nuggets and mac and cheese so we decided to go to a house that has food 😉
We will be staying put for the holidays because my husband will be getting home to PA tomorrow after several weeks in CA! Can’t wait!
Ps. He got sick traveling to CA with all the nasty germies everywhere on the planes and airports. He probably could have used some of these 🙂
Both, Christmas at home with my family then traveling for New Year’s for the BF’s family.
Thankfully my whole family lives around here, so I will not be traveling!
We are going to my family’s! It is just across town, but I’m so excited 😀

We celebrate at home. Being in Rural MN in the Winter, you never know what the weather will be like, so its safe to get everyone here and stay put! Way less stress that way to!
We’re traveling. I feel you on the cough. They linger around forever. You start to feel like your a coal miner with the black lung syndrome.
This year we are spending a quiet Christmas at home with an awesome brunch menu… Quiche, pancakes, veggies galore, and of course dessert!
I’m traveling to see family.. leaving tomorrow. So excited!
Just me, my husband and the four-legged babies will be celebrating ON Christmas. The family might once over the day after but nothing is confirmed yet.

Heading to Oregon tomorrow evening til Sunday for Xmas #1. Xmas #2 with in laws and friends to buffer the inlaw vibe at our house on Xmas eve.. #3 with just us 5 on Xmas day. Its mentally exhausting.
Neither: We are traveling to get away from family! (Not joking). We don’t have kids, while our other relatives in town (who are extended family – hub’s cousins, etc) have tons. We don’t feel close enough to them to buy presents for all their kids, but feel weird spending xmas with them without providing presents. So, we figured out to just go out of town every Christmas. It’s pretty great!
Many Homes – his mom’s (Christmas Eve), mine (Christmas morning) and my mom’s (Christmas dinner). Fortunately all within 25 miles of each other ;o)

We’re going to my in-laws. It’s not really traveling, ‘cuz….they are our neighbors 🙂 Lol.

I have to travel 2 hours to be with family – hopefully the weather won’t be too bad!
I am traveling to my side of the family and my fiances– lots of driving but worth it!
Mostly celebrating at home, with 3 little girls it just makes the most sense to let everyone come to us. We do travel locally to my sil’s for Christmas Eve and then again to a friend’s for NYE.

Since I don’t celebrate Christmas (my holiday was in November this year) I am going to bum off my bf’s family because I love Christmas! Even though it’s not my holiday, I still enjoy celebrating it (a lot)!
Both. Spending Christmas Eve at my house and then traveling on Christmas day to see family. Praying they don’t get 10 inches of snow this year, like they did last year, and that we can go see them!
We are staying home this year! It’s my son’s first Christmas so relatives can come to us!!
My husbands and my anniversary is soon so we always take a trip over the holidays to reconnect!
Traveling to see my family since I didn’t get to for Thanksgiving!

I’ll be spending the holiday at home with my new husband. I promised him our first married Christmas would be relaxing and quiet after our wedding in Nov this year 🙂
I agree, Ricola are the best. Thankfully I have not had to use them yet this year:) I will be spending the holidays traveling to Iowa to see family – including my newest nephew who was born yesterday!

I am staying home this year and super excited!!
3 Christmases at our home and 2 at the relatives. Busy but blessed.
We’re celebrating it at “home” meaning Christmas eve with my husband’s family and Christmas with my family. But luckily no major traveling involved 🙂
A little of both. Home for Christmas morning, then traveling.
We are traveling but everyone is close by so it’s only about an hour each way, not bad at all. I love the holidays and my family so it’s totally worth it.
PS Did you throw that tortilla onto your electric cook top to get those grill marks or did those come through the pan? Either way it gave me a solid laugh so thanks for that!
Staying home, but I’m making my kids travel to see me!
I don’t celebrate Christmas, so just sticking around and relaxing
We are traveling a bunch of different directions over the holidays, my husband and I live away from both of our families, who of course live no where near eachother!
I am hosting this year which I am very nervous/excited about!
I’m going to Hawaii with my family. Mele kelikimaka!
We’re doing both! Waking up Christmas morning at our house, then headed a few hours north to the grandparents!
Traveling back to Chicago for almost two full weeks!
Traveling a short distance on Christmas Day to see family!
At my parents home, they live in the area so no traveling for me
Staying home in Cali. No need to travel when EVERY SINGLE ONE of my family members lives within an hour of each other.
We are staying home and I can’t wait!
We are going from Minnesota to boston to Colorado for the holidays. This
Would come in handy.
Thanks
My husband and I have 4 Christmas’s to go to! Luckily the farthest we have to drive is one hour.
We will be traveling a short distance to my mom and dad’s house to celebrate Christmas.
All my family lives in the area so we see lots of family during the holidays!
at home with my husband
Sorry for another comment, but I totally forgot to write this on an earlier comment. Unfortunately my sweat looks like that more than often, than not. It’s a running joke between my best friend and I. I now have to be conscious of what type of shirts/tanks I buy for the gym. I sweat like a crazy person and more than not it turns out like yours today! 🙁
Going to my parents Christmas Eve and my in-laws Christmas Day. 🙂
We are doing a little bit of both!
We’ll be traveling, by car, with the dog, to see my family and my in-laws.
Celebrating it at home with my dad!
I’m so grateful we all (the fam bam) live in the same city. No significant traveling for anyone. I’m more worried about getting sick at the mall or somewhere random like that 😉
Heading to Israel tonight for winter break from med school!
We are celebrating at home this year!
I am staying local. Most of my family lives nearby so this saves on travel costs. Win!
We are staying home for our daughter’s first Christmas. She’s a preemie baby so we are on lock down this cold/flu/rsv season! Maybe next year I’ll see my family!
I’m heading to Freemont, CA to see my sister & her hubs, first time since last Christmas & the first time I’ll go to San Francisco too!
We are celebrating pretty much at home, and going to also celebrate Christmas Eve and Day with some nearby relatives…….Happy holidays Monica!
I will be staying local and going to my sisters.
What a wonderful giveaway! I’m a huge Ricola fan; they were my salvation when I was a singer.
I’ll be visiting my family this weekend, but Christmas is just going to be me, the husband, and our dog! A nice, quiet first Christmas.
We are doing both although our travel is relatively close to home. On Christmas day we will be hanging out at home enjoying our own Christmas traditions.
Staying home which will be really nice.
I will be “Home for Christmas”!
I am doing both this year. Home for Christmas and leaving the day after. I am currently battling a cold too, and would love for it to go away!
The husband and I always do Christmas Eve and morning at our own house before driving the hour to Syracuse to see our families!
We are traveling as a family to Whistler, BC for skiing.
Staying HOME and excited about it!
I’m spending two weeks in London visiting my husband – can’t wait!
I’m traveling a few hours home to see family. I have a cold starting to come on, hopefully it doesn’t progress or goes away in the next week!!
I am staying home and the whole family is coming. So excited!!
Both actually! A few days at home with my fam them a few days in Phx with my boyfriend’s fam. So….TWO Christmasas!!!
My parents and in-laws live in town so my husband and I do a small celebration at home with us and our dog, then go to his parent’s house in the morning and my parent’s house for dinner.
We’ll be traveling a few hours to see my family this weekend, then spending the actual holiday with his family in the area. New Year’s it just the two of us (well three if you count his cough which has been his constant companion for the past few weeks, he could use that Ricola!).
We’re celebrating at my dad’s house
Local travel on Christmas Eve, home on Christmas Day 🙂
I will be going to my grandparents!
My daughter is 11 months old so it will be our first Christmas together! We will be celebrating at my parent’s house (1.4 miles away). So excited to start new traditions together!
My husband and I switch up the holidays every year. This year we’ll be with his family on Christmas and celebrate with my family over New Year’s. I have no problem with it either. I love seeing both our families around the holidays.
Hi! I will be celebrating at my brother’s on Christmas Eve and at home Christmas morning. So glad to have my wonderful family around me during the holidays. Feeling blessed.
Going a mile away to spend it with a recently-divorced friend. Single girls Christmas Wonderland!
I am not really traveling, per se. I’m doing breakfast with my mom. Then heading home and celebrating Christmas with a peaceful 10 mile run. Ok..that is as long as it isn’t raining cats and dogs or anything.
I’ll be leaving my humble abode to go see the fam in New Jersey. But NYC is a germ fest this time of year (everyone coughs and breathes and you don’t know where anyone’s been) so I always up the zinc, vit C and anything else I can to stay healthy.
For the first year in the last 5 we are staying home for Christmas and traveling to see family the next weekend. Not driving on Christmas is going to be amazing!!
We are staying home and family is traveling to us. And I’ve been battling a cough for a couple weeks now myself!
We are still not married, so with our last Christmas as a non-married couple, he will go to his parents’ and I will go to mine. We’ll meet up probably x-mas night or the next day because we hate to spend too much time away from each other!
At my friend’s. They’ve
absorbed me like the Borgadopted me into their family, so that’s where I’ll be. I’m in charge of gravy and the glaze for the ham, plus whatever else her Mom needs me to do that day.We are actually going over to my son’s father’s house for a family Christmas. I’m since remarried and so is he, and all of us get along very well. We’re both military families (I’m retired, but he is still active) so we don’t have any family in the area so we celebrate together 🙂
A little of both. Looking forward to time with family and friends!
I will be traveling 17 hours by train from Illinois to Texas! Cannot wait to see family!
Happy Holidays to you!
We are traveling to see family!! Cant wait!
celebrating in the dominican republic!
I am doing my residency about 8 hours away from home and due to the holiday being on a Wednesday, my parents are driving to see me! But now I have to cook for them…..
Both. We are traveling the weekend before (this weekend, eek! just thought about that) to visit my husband’s dad and stepmom and have Christmas with them but will be home on the actual day of Christmas for our girls to see what Santa brought and have Christmas with my parents and his mom and stepdad.
Traveling to family! Headed to Geneva, IL this weekend, Oshkosh, WI on Tuesday, then Menomonee Falls, WI on Wednesday and then Grafton, WI on Saturday. Home in between :).
Both!Should be great fun!
We’re celebrating at home.
Happy Holidays!
Driving out to see the family on my dad’s side of the family. It will be the first time I’ve seen them since my wedding (almost 5 years ago). Unfortunately, we have about 20 hours in the car each way.
I’m traveling to be home with my family!!! I’m so excited 🙂
We are staying at home this year.
At home with the husband.
Staying home and having friends visit from out of town. The best of both worlds 🙂
Both- local for Christmas Eve then travelling Xmas day for the in laws
