Things I Need To Do More Often #18

Traveling stresses me out – a lot. Traveling is an even bigger headache during the holiday season, so why not try to make it a little more bearable for yourself and fellow travelers?

Whether you’re going to your Thanksgiving celebration by car, bus, plane, or foot, post a few Operation Beautiful notes in your wake! It’s a fun way to spread the holiday cheer. 🙂

(This note is from a girl named Jenn – Thanks, Jenn!)

As always, if you take a picture of your note and e-mail it to me (seebriderun@gmail.com), I post it on the site for others to read and enjoy. 🙂

How are you traveling this holiday season? We’re driving to our Thanksgiving dinner, but we’ll be flying on Christmas Eve… Maybe we’ll see Santa in the sky!

Cool post Caitlin. I am staying put this holiday season and hopefully decorating the new house! I am excited!

Going to my grandma’s house..making pie for it right now. Then a second TG on Saturday with more family. Family time baby. I hope that someone in Oz saw the notes 🙂

Oh my gosh, that totally made me smile- the idea of seeing Santa in the sky Christmas eve! Haha I wanted that to happen so bad when I when I was a kid!

I’m just driving down the road, sweet potato pie in hand! I’ll be flying home for Christmas though!

People in Canada don’t do much traveling for thanksgiving – it is more of a immediate family holiday. We are ALL about Christmas. This Christmas we will be driving to my families 2 hours away on Boxing Day, after spending Christmas in town with my hubby’s family. Then on Dec. 29th – we are headed to the Dominican!

You’re flying on Christmas Eve? My you’re brave. Better get to the airport soon! haha

Thanksgiving is the time to remember what we’re thankful for, and Operation Beautiful helps remind us of that. 😀

BOO for Christmas Eve travel!!! I feel your pain– we’re flying leaving Seattle (where my husband’s family is) at 3:30 pm on Christmas Eve, getting into Dallas at 9:00, and then driving from Dallas to Shreveport to be with my family on Christmas day. We’ll probably get in around 1:30 a.m….ughhghgh.

Maybe they’ll be playing “It’s a Wonderful Life on the Plane”…although all that cheer might just get on my nerves at that point 🙂

Great OB post!
I gave up traveling on the holidays a few years ago.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is November 25, 2009, 6:48 pm
I’m staying put. 🙂

That’s a great Operation Beautiful note! Luckily, I’m staying home for Thanksgiving and don’t have to worry about traveling. Have a wonderful holiday!

I’ll be busing or driving home for the holidays. Sigh not for another three weeks though!

I just drove 6 hrs for Thanksgiving 😀 and I’ll be driving 4+ for Christmas, too! Although they’re long drives, it’s worth it to see the fam! Hehehe

My family lives in the area, so I’ll just be driving a few miles 😉

I am sitting at the airport as we speak. Is it such a crime to buy a $6 glass of wine at 4:30 in the afternoon? I don’t think so. That’s what airports are for after all.

I’m coming to Orlando on Dec. 23 and going to NYC on Dec. 29th (through January 4). It’s been a year since I’ve been to the states, so I’m excited!

Safe travels!

Just curious….have you actually seen or heard from someone who found one of your notes? Does it actually make them feel better about themselves or happier?? If I found one of your notes I would just roll my eyes. If you feel fat, ugly and unhappy I don’t think a note written by a pretty girl is going to make you feel any better. Just saying.
