It’s pretty much impossible not to travel during the holidays — whether it’s by plane for an exotic escape from the snow or a short drive to see family — that being said there is something about staying right in the comfort of your own home. For those cozy days when you’re not braving the elements (or stores), we suggest you curl up on the couch and make your own perfect getaway without going anywhere at all.
