Four Great Place To Spend ChristmasBY: Pua Melia | Category: Travel | Post Date: 2009-11-05
Spending time with family over Christmas always make for some very interesting stories, however, once in a while you need a break from that over bearing mother in law or huge invasive family. Don't get me wrong, spending time with family during the holidays is the ultimate tradition but there are some great places around the United States that offer unique and enchanting Christmas experiences. If you are looking for somewhere warm and tropical to escape to for this notoriously snowy holiday you should consider Orlando, Florida. Florida in December has great weather anywhere you go, but if you are looking for the ultimate Christmas experience park yourselves at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. At Christmas time this resort includes a four-story Christmas tree decorated with birdcages and mirrors and a dock overlooking the Magic Kingdom. During this season Epcot has a program called -Holidays Around the World- that shows how other cultures celebrate the holiday, they also have a nightly tree lighting ceremony and storytellers from different countries. Finally, Universal Studios hosts a Christmas parade including all of their famous characters. Next, if you are looking for a little southern touch to be added to your Christmas holiday cruise on down to Nashville, Tennessee. Stay at the Gaylord Opryland hotel, a hotel with over 3,000 rooms that is decorated with nearly two million lights, a 40 foot Christmas tree, a 20 foot poinsettia tree, and a daily, medieval themed Yule log ceremony. If you're looking for a traditional Christmas dinner head on over to the Wild Boar, who has creatively invented many meat orientated seasonal dishes. Nashville also hosts an annual ice sculpture exhibition called -ICE!- that has become home to the nativity scene, angels and a 17-ton polar bear! One enchanting Christmas spot that may not come to mind immediately when you think of somewhere to spend the holiday is Las Vegas, Nevada. Book your stay at Caesars Palace were a whole dream world of artificial trees, snow, ice and reindeer are set up during the holiday season. Don't forget to stroll on over to the Monte Carlo Las Vegas who has a number of trees set up in their lobby with some very interesting ornaments. The Springs Preserve also has a Winter Lights Festival that illuminates its gardens with half a millions of eco-friendly LED lights. Also, keep in mind every single buffet in Vegas will be open during the Christmas season with specialty holiday prices, but if money isn't a problem there are a lot of sit down restaurants too, just remember to make a reservation! Finally, if you are looking to spend your Christmas in one of the most enchanting holiday settings in the country head north to New York City. Whether it is skating on the rink at Rockefeller City, seeing the Rockettes at Radio City or scouring the city for the most amazing department store window displays you will never want to spend Christmas anywhere else. Even if the wind is blowing and the snow is falling all of New York is transformed into a winter wonderland. For the perfect Christmas meal head on over to BLT Market in the Ritz Carlton on Central Park for a three course meal at an unbeatable price of only $95. Clearly there are many Christmas traditions around the country that are worth exploring, so if you are looking for a Christmas away from home this year, head to one of these four amazing holiday locations. Trust me, you will not be sorry. Article Source: http://www.writearticles.org About Author / Additional Info: To find more great holiday travel spots, click here!
