There are a few things you should know about me: I love spending time with my friends and family and I love to cook. But I do not love hosting at home during the holidays.
I know that some people absolutely love preparing a big, festive dinner with all the fixings and inviting loved ones into their homes for a big celebration. I am just not one of them. I don't like the amount of cooking, cleaning and hovering about it takes to make sure everyone is having a good time.
But I've found a great alternative for hosting during the festive season: Skip it entirely and instead, check into a hotel. Last year, for example, I spent Thanksgiving at a hotel in Orlando — and it was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
