'Tis The Season For Travel: Planning A Christmas Vacation for the Family If you are looking to get away with the family this Christmas season, plan a vacation during which you and your loved ones can spend time together. Depending on where you live and your family's interests, you can travel anywhere, from the snowy mountains of Colorado to the warm sandy beaches of Hawaii or the Caribbean. However, as you are planning your Christmas trip, keep in mind that this is the busiest travel season of the year. To ensure that your family's Christmas vacation is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible, start making your plans early. Christmas Vacation Planning Tips If you are unsure of where to go, here are a few tips to help you choose a destination: Plan a trip everyone will enjoy : Talk to family members and all those traveling with you and try to agree on an enjoyable vacation. Plan on fitting in the things everyone wants to do, if possible. Research the destination's weather : Find out what the weather will be like during your trip and pack accordingly. Also plan on surprises, since weather can be predictable. Set a budget : Pick a location that fits within your budget. If you have a tighter budget, select a destination that isn't as popular during winter months. Going to smaller resorts may be the way to find the best packages for your Christmas vacation. Once you choose a destination, remember the following tips to minimize your stress: Arrive early: To avoid the heavy holiday traffic, plan on arriving to your destination earlier than December 24. Buy tickets and book hotels in advance: Since this is the busiest travel season of the year, don't count on getting tickets or reservations a couple of weeks before you go. Think about planning your travel and accommodations as early as summer time. Plan when to exchange gifts: Decide if you are going to give your family gifts before you leave or after you get back from your trip. Avoid bringing the presents with you, as packing gifts takes up valuable luggage space and could cause some presents to be destroyed en route. Top Christmas Vacation Spots Around the World The possible destinations for Christmas vacations are endless. While some locations may be more suitable than others, areas all around the world can serve as wonderful spots for a Christmas getaway. Consider some of these spots: Aspen : This is possibly the best place for skiing and snowboarding in the United States. The snow and Victorian charm make it a perfect setting for a Christmas holiday. Jamaica : If you are a beach bunny and want to enjoy a sunny, warm Christmas with your family, plan a Jamaican vacation. Because December is considered off-season for Jamaican travel, you'll likely find a number of deals on family vacation packages. London : For a more old-fashioned, big city Christmas, shoot off to London with your family. This historic city will provide you with plenty of activities and sightseeing opportunities. New York : For a fantastic winter-wonderland kind of vacation, head to Manhattan. Children and adults alike will not only revel in the glory of the Christmas tree in Times Square but also enjoy ice-skating in Central Park. Prague : This old city in the Czech Republic is perfect for a beautiful, old-world Christmas. Its gothic towers, castles and cobblestone streets provide a magical holiday setting. St. Moritz : As one of Switzerland's finest cities, St. Mortiz is a skiing hot spot for upscale vacationers. Plus, its snowy mountains make the Christmas spirit come alive! Sun Valley : Located in Idaho, Sun Valley is another great U.S. skiing spot. This is a great alternative to the more popular (and more expensive) skiing destinations in the U.S. Traveling with Children over Christmas If you have young children, explain to them that Santa is going to deliver their gifts away from home or leave the presents at home for them to open when they return. Similarly, you'll likely want to choose a destination that appeals to them. Many destinations throughout the U.S. offer kid-friendly attractions that your children are likely to remember for years to come. Some kid-oriented locations that would make for a lovely Christmas holiday include: Colonial Williamsburg Disney World and Disney Land Finland and Russia (Magical Santa Claus Tour) Hershey , Pa. (Christmas Candy Lane) North Pole, N.Y. (year-round Santa fun!) Universal Studios. Regardless of where you choose to go, remember that Christmas is a time to be together with those you love!
