My wife and I are the 'oddballs' here....We rarely go anywhere in the winter months. During my 'working-years', I was doing taxes and so was 'tied-to-my-desk' from Christmas through April.

When the children were young, we managed to take 'week-end' breaks with them close to home in rural Quebec.

Lately, these 'breaks' are in Ontario for the Ballet, Theatre, and Opera. We usually travel by train, saving our strength for the arts.
