Considering in the UK a 'Holiday' is anytime the fam goes on a road trip, I mention of the 'holiday season' to be much less annoying and tedious. And I am still holding out for the RC Lawnmower from 'Honey I shrunk the kids.'

They're little laser boxes you can set at the edge of a room or in the doorway to keep the roomba from going outside the desired area.
