Where would you spend the holidays, if not at home?
- Terry Ambrose:
I’ve always thought it would be fun to spend the holidays in Hawaii. But after visiting the town of Mt. Shasta, I think it would be kind of a fun place to go.
- Nancy J. Cohen:
I’d go on a Caribbean cruise. Cruise ships are always festively decorated for the holidays, and you’re in company with other people looking to meet new friends and have a good time.
- Debra H. Goldstein:
Wherever my immediate family wants to go. We are spread all over the country, so it is a joy when we pick a place and all get together.
- Cheryl Hollon:
My husband and I are devoted cruise enthusiasts, and holiday sailings are our favorite escape. Ships sparkle with over-the-top decorations, and the days are filled with special events—like stepping into a floating, festive mystery waiting to unfold.
- Maggie Toussaint:
Traveling is much harder for us now, so we stay close to home. It’s hard to not be with the kids and grandkids during holidays, but at least we have my siblings, cousins, and childhood friends to keep us company. Luckily, the kids make the trek here from time to time, so we do get in-person time with them still. In previous years, we’ve enjoyed travel to the Caribbean in early December.
- C.B. Wilson:
In Hawaii with family. It’s always fun to explain I get to go home to Hawaii for the holidays.
- Lois Winston:
Visiting my oldest son and his family in California.

Am sole caregiver for husband with Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s, both of us in our 80’s. Don’t get out much, so depend on the public library’s on hold service. Sadly, all your books are older publications, nothing up to date. Have read them all more than twice. Amazon is my department store, so will look there for your books. Enjoy your From the Bench news.
I would go spend it in Colorado with my son. Deborah
