We are due to spend Christmas with family in Scotland. We are booked on a flight relatively late on Christmas Eve.
I was planning to order some of the DCs' presents on-line to be delivered direct to our relatives' house to make the logistics a bit easier.
Given the weather forecast, I guess there is some risk that we will not make it there (airport closed etc, or roads too bad at the other end).
Assuming by this time next week the weather is still looking bad, how far would you go in planning around the risk of not making it there? e.g. should I change my plans about getting some presents delivered directly (and pay for an extra piece of luggage), and order in CHristmas food to have at home just in case (flight is sufficently late on CHristmas Eve that if it is cancelled at the last minute the shops may be closed).
Kids are 5 and 7, so very much at the magical christmas age. I would hate to find ourselves at home on Christmas Day with no turkey and no pressies for the kids (apart form the small stocking items).
