3) Staycation
Save money by staying home for your vacation. Odds are that you’ve never explored your town as a tourist because you’ve been looking through the eyes of a local. You’ll save cash on everything from gas or airfare to accommodations. Check out your town’s website or visitor’s center- be sure to check the calendar of events and map your days like you would if you were out of town. Take photos, try restaurants you’ve never been to, and take any local tours that are available. Most importantly have fun- this is no time for cleaning out the garage!
4) Climate Swap
Whether you’re dreaming of a white Christmas or wishing the white stuff away, we could all use a change of pace. If you live in a harsh winter climate consider a tropical getaway. You can bask in a beach lover’s paradise while your friends fight the chill at home! However, if you’ve never experienced the magic of waking up to snow on Christmas morning- head somewhere where your childhood Christmas wish will come true. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or sitting by the fire it will be a special Christmas memory that will last a lifetime.
5) All Aboard
Spend your Christmas on a floating resort! Cruise ships offer non-stop action, around the clock buffets, shopping & shows. There’s something here for everyone and many different cruise lines to choose from, you can truly customize your cruise experience. Explore amazing port locations and enjoy endless on ship activity. As an added bonus most holiday cruises include an all out New Year’s bash!

Last year, our family went to Reno NV for a combination of skiing, historical day trips, gambling & shows. Spent a few days in Lake Tahoe & few in Reno. In Reno, the "Grand Sierra" is super family friendly w/huge game rooms, a bowling alley & nice suites. The rates were great for a 4 star & being "off" the strip, even better. We stayed about 6 nights in the area (flew out on xmas day to use freq miles) & could of stayed longer w/all the historical western day trips (the train that runs thru Donnards pass into the Rockies is amazing). I’d recommend staying a few days in Reno, then shuttle to Lake Tahoe for the skiing & scenery. We’re from Fl & Reno was just a great combo of snow but not too cold & lots of fun & so not Vegas.
