Spending the holidays at home with friends and family is nice, but sometimes it’s fun to gather your family and explore a new destination for the holiday season. Although many places decorate and offer special events, some destinations have become synonymous with holiday travel. Among these are:

New York City

From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, New York City is one big celebration. There’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade; the big, lighted tree at Rockefeller Center (pictured above); the timeless Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall; the animated department store windows; and the excitement that is New York in December.

Williamsburg Virginia

For a historic Christmas vacation, you can’t beat Williamsburg. This restored 18th century town adorns itself with fruit wreaths, sings traditional carols, and welcomes in the season just as our forefathers did. You can even get an 18th century Christmas dinner at one of the restored inns. Plan early and stay in one of the restored houses within the village or indulge yourselves at the formal Williamsburg Inn.

London

European captials celebrate the season with a little more subtlety than we do in the United States. The colors are a little more subdued and the focus is somewhat less commercial. The holiday season in London takes on the air of a Dickens novel. There are traditional Edwardian carols, garlands and wreaths, and Harrod’s filled with goodies for everyone on your shopping list.
