Holiday Vacations - Florida Style
Despite the absence of snow, the Sunshine State is still a very merry place to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. Winter is an ideal time to visit Florida because the weather is simply glorious; while the northern and central parts of the state can get chilly (but never cold enough to snow), its southern half offers mild temperatures and bright, sunny days.
Go to Nights of Lights in St. Augustine
St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S., founded by Spanish colonists in 1565. It’s also one of the most festive. Stay in the historic district during Nights of Lights and enjoy strolling its colorful streets while three million lights bring it to life. The display runs from mid-November through the end of January each year.
Watch a Holiday Boat Parade
Many big cities and small towns up and down the coasts of Florida put on holiday boat parades. This fun Christmastime activity includes hundreds of boats decked out in full holiday regalia parading along a waterway, usually in support of a good local cause.
See the Sandi Tree in West Palm Beach
Your town might put up a giant Christmas tree in the middle of Main Street every year, but only in West Palm Beach will you find a 35-foot, 700-ton tree made entirely of sand. The Sandi Tree is the star of the city’s Holiday in Paradise celebrations, which take over the waterfront each December.
Explore Santa’s Enchanted Forest in Miami
Forget cozy pajamas and staying home for the holidays. Miami is home to the world’s largest holiday theme park, Santa’s Enchanted Forest, which sports more than 100 rides, shows, and games. You’ll also find a number of other attractions, like Mistletoe Lane, Christmas karaoke, South Florida’s tallest Christmas tree, life-size holiday displays, and a light show spectacular.
Celebrate with Mickey at Walt Disney World
It doesn’t get better than the “Most Magical Place on Earth” at the most wonderful time of the year. The jolliest event of the season, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, takes place on certain nights in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom park from early November until just before Christmas. You’ll find exclusive attractions like Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration at Cinderella Castle
Mail Your Holiday Cards from Christmas
Did you know there’s a town in Florida called Christmas? While there aren’t many attractions to make you want to book a long visit, there is one point of interest that draws many visitors each year: a post office with a stamp cancellation proudly bearing its name. If you’re in Florida for the holidays, it’s worth the drive to this spot about a half hour from Orlando to mail your holiday cards and ensure each recipient on your list gets an extra-special season’s greetings.
See the Surfing Santas in Cocoa Beach
This Cocoa Beach tradition is one of the jolliest in Florida. Each year, the Surfing Santas — which are exactly what they sound like, a bunch of surfers dressed as the man himself — gather in Cocoa Beach to hit the waves or paddle around on their stand-up paddleboards on the morning of Christmas Eve. It’s a sight to behold, and a perfectly Floridian way to kick off the holiday.

Holiday Magic at the Disney Parks: Celebrations Around the World from Fall to Winter
by Graham Allan, Rebecca Cline, Charlie Price
With twelve theme parks and dozens of resort hotels, plus numerous cruise ships, dining and shopping districts, and more than six decades of holiday experiences, there are a lot of pumpkin treatments and ornate trees to reflect upon. Every parade or show requires dozens (sometimes hundreds) of creative magicians both onstage and off. And each decoration is chosen carefully to fit within a story and is expertly placed on its tree or garland by craftspeople backstage. The decor is installed onstage, maintained, and, ultimately, disassembled by technicians before it is once again cleaned, prepared, and stored in vast warehouses . . . till next year’s event. The stories and contributions from so many unsung Cast Members (often hard at work at hours of the night when others are asleep) fill these pages, along with the joys of Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year celebrations.

Beating the Holiday Blues
The winter holidays can be a very special time. Families gather, people give thanks or exchange presents, special meals are prepared, the streets and trees are decorated in lights. It can feel like a magical time, a time of good cheer. But, for some of us, this time of year is not a happy occasion—and can even be fraught or depressing. Family tensions or overly high expectations can make us vulnerable to feeling more down than elated. If we’ve suffered the loss of a loved one, we may feel that person’s absence more keenly. Or we may just feel like we can’t afford to make the holidays bright for our families. If you find yourself feeling down around the holidays, there are other ways to shift a low mood to a bit happier one. Psychotherapists who treat people with mood disorders often recommend these tips to patients to help them lift their depression:
Add small, pleasant activities to your life.
Making time every day to do something that brings you a little joy—whether that’s grabbing coffee at the local café, talking to a friend, quilting, or watching a sunset—can help balance the difficulties of the holidays with more positive experiences.
Move your body—even if it’s just a little.
Exercise of any kind—walking, biking, weightlifting, dancing—is proven to be mood-boosting and is important for overall health, too.
Try meditating or practicing self-compassion.
Making yourself more aware of your feelings and thoughts and learning to accept them (rather than just pushing them away) can help some people manage their moods. And, in the midst of your suffering, it can be good to remember that others feel this way, too, and to offer yourself kindness.
Help others during the holiday.
Perhaps volunteering to deliver meals to the hungry, sing for people in a nursing home, or visit lonely neighbors. Helping other people is helpful to you. It helps lift your mood to feel like you’re doing something purposeful, something that makes others feel happy.
Connect with other people.
Sometimes, we just need to stop avoiding social interactions and start connecting with people—friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, even strangers. Try calling an old friend, asking a colleague to coffee, waving at your neighbor, or greeting your local grocer or mail carrier. These small interactions can make you happier.
Give thanks for small blessings.
Try starting a gratitude journal, where you write down a few small things you feel grateful for every day. Don’t try to be grateful for things you’re not happy about, though—you don’t have to paint a smiley face on difficult things. But look for the small, good things in your life—like a delicious cup of coffee, your pet’s soft fur, a beautiful winter sky, or your child’s goofy grin—and say thanks to yourself for those small blessings.
If you’re just feeling a bit blue this holiday season, take heart. There are ways to move the needle—you just need to figure out what works best for you. Your mood can shift with a little effort, making the holiday season brighter for you and those around you.

Holiday Vacations for the Whole Family
‘Tis the season to shop till you drop—but what if this year, you focused on travel experiences for the whole family instead of material objects? Whether you’re seeking a classic Christmas vacation filled with holiday traditions or a festive yuletide getaway without snow, you’ll find it in these vacation destinations.
Prague
During December, the capital of Czechia turns into a winter wonderland you’ve got to see to believe. Twinkling lights blanket the city’s medieval architecture, and its Christmas markets are some of the best in the world. Plus, many of Prague’s top attractions –including Old Town Square and the Charles Bridge – are free, so you won’t have to spend a fortune to sightsee. Just keep in mind that Prague is a popular winter destination come Christmastime, so you’ll want to book your tickets early and plan on sharing elbow space with other holiday visitors.
Maldives
If your idea of the perfect Christmas getaway consists of sublime weather, luxurious accommodations and gorgeous scenery, look no further than the Maldives. When you’re not swimming with tropical fish or sunbathing on white sand beaches, unwind with a spa treatment in an overwater bungalow. As Christmas nears, several Maldivian resorts host Santa meet-and-greets (he occasionally arrives on water skis), Christmas markets, festive feasts and more to get you in the holiday spirit. Plus, many offer allinclusive holiday packages to help you get the best value out of your getaway.
Tromso
Considered one of the best places in the world to view the northern lights, this Norwegian city doesn’t see the sun in December. But don’t worry – Tromsø’s sparkling Christmas lights, cheerful atmosphere and vivid skyscapes create the perfect ambiance for a magical Christmas vacation. Visit Stortorget’s famous Christmas tree, learn about the Sami culture on a reindeer sledding tour, see the city lights from Fjellheisen cable car or stay warm inside a cozy cafe. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, stay overnight in the Tromsø Ice Domes. Rebuilt every autumn, this attraction features a hotel, cinema, bar and restaurant that are completely made of ice.

Aspen
Active travelers and relaxation-seekers alike will love celebrating Christmas in Aspen. This Colorado mountain town is a haven for skiers thanks to its nearly 100 runs and highly regarded après-ski scene. What’s more, Aspen is home to multiple luxury resorts with cozy fireplaces and luxe spas for relaxing. For a dose of yuletide fun, make your way to downtown Aspen for the 12 Days of Aspen, an event that lasts for nearly two weeks and features free Santa meet-and-greets, ballet performances, caroling, cookie decorating and more.
Rome
Rome’s charming setting is even more stunning when decorated for the holidays. Admire the impressive Christmas trees in Piazza Venezia, next to the Colosseum and in Vatican City’s St. Peter’s Square before checking out the world’s oldest permanent nativity scene at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major. Then, shop for holiday treats, decorations and gifts at Piazza Navona’s sprawling Christmas market. No trip would be complete without attending the Pope’s Christmas message and blessing outside of St. Peter’s Basilica. Keep in mind that many businesses and attractions are closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
Salzburg
For a Christmas vacation steeped in tradition, spend your holiday in Salzburg, Austria. Every December, locals don horned masks, pelts and bells as they chase spectators throughout the Old Town much like the folk creature Krampus is said to have done to scare naughty children. Plus, the city offers an annual Christmas market that sells ornaments, toys and specialty treats, such as mulled wine and marzipan. If you enjoy listening to Christmas carols, save time for a day trip to nearby Oberndorf, where the iconic Christmas song “Silent Night” was first performed.
Honolulu – Oahu
Although December marks the start of Oahu’s peak tourist season, its abundant Christmas activities, warm weather and terrific whale watching opportunities make it a great time to visit. Base yourself in Honolulu to enjoy easy access to Chinatown’s fun holiday window displays. And don’t miss the monthlong Honolulu City Lights event at Honolulu Hale, which features everything from a tree-lighting ceremony to a parade. Just be sure to book your hotel room months in advance to ensure availability.
North Pole
In December, it’s only fitting to visit a place where it feels like Christmas all year long. A one-of-a-kind Alaska destination, the North Pole is home to the Santa Claus House, where jolly visitors can find a 42-foot-tall statue of Santa, mail cards and letters with a North Pole postmark and visit the team of reindeer. The town prepares for the Christmas season with events like a tree-lighting ceremony, a candlelight ceremony and a holiday bazaar. Since the North Pole is located about 14 miles southeast of Fairbanks, you luckily won’t need a magic sleigh to get there. However, you will want to bundle up for sub-zero temperatures.
