I will own the highway
I don’t know when I will travel to Iowa for the Christmas celebration. All I know is that if I wait until Monday it will be too late.
I think I will wake at three AM on Christmas morning, drink a big mug of coffee, and leave promptly after that. It will still be dark when I turn onto Highway 30 and cross the Mississippi. The houses in the little towns along the highway will still be slumbering.
The best thing about traveling early Christmas morning is that I have the roads all to myself as if I owned them. I even have the Mississippi all my own for a few moments. It is a sort of Christmas present to myself.
After all, I am worth it.

I would probably be more likely to get there at three and then grab a week kip. Have a good trip doing it your way -- which is exactly the way that you should.
I agree about city streets. The country is prettier in winter.
That sounds wonderful. I also like to get up early early early and set off in the dark when the rest of the world is still in bed. It is so neat to feel like you are the only person on the whole planet who is up and about and then drive out of the dark into the sunrise.
Enjoy your trip and have a wonderful Christmas.
Cuppa & Anvilcloud,
Merry Christmans and Happy New Year!
