My house was the center of family holidays for a long time, and now my younger daughter has taken on hosting the holidays. My older daughter and her husband travel here, where they grew up, for the holidays. I think she says she is going home for the holidays and her husband says he's going to see his parents. Seems like the sentiment is different.
