Usually it wouldn’t be big news if a guy decided to spend Christmas with his wife’s folks instead of his own family, but in the case of Prince William and his commoner wife, Kate Middleton, it’s the biggest deal ever!

The Prince is setting tradition on its ear by deciding to spend Christmas with Kate’s folks in her hometown of Buckley.

People:

In a major break from tradition, which was cleared after consultation with Queen Elizabeth, she and husband William will visit her hometown, Bucklebury to celebrate the holiday “privately with the Middleton family,” according to the Palace.

I’ve always wondered, does that saying go “home for the holidays?” or “home for the hostilities?”
