Open Thread: Running Away For The Holidays — Where’s Your Favorite Spot to Spend Christmas Out of Town?

You know what’s exhausting? Shuffling to a million different homes throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to visit with relatives both close and distant. It gets tiring and old, and the environment rarely changes.

This year, though, my family is considering running off to Colorado to take advantage of a friend’s vacation rental that fell victim to an unexpected cancellation. It’s a lovely cabin near great skiing, so of course we’re at least considering it.

It made me wonder who else forgoes the holiday shuffle for a more serene and relaxing Christmas vacation. Where do you go?
