I do like the Central American/South American-style celebrations of Christmas that I've been exposed to...though I understand the emphasis on "family", like most places.
- Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle (I like these cities and might "suffer through" the cold - esp. Toronto - if they are otherwise attractive)
- Berlin (same rationale, but probably too expensive)
- Austin/
San Antonio?
- Australia is mighty expensive
- Hong Kong (Shenzen) is cheaper, but...?
Any thoughts appreciated.
A couple of years ago I was in San Antonio for Christmas (solo). Great time to go with all the lights around the Riverwalk. Nice weather as well.
And last year I was in Mexico City during the Christmas Holidays. It will be a bit slow, with many sights closed on Christmas Eve/Day, but still pleasant weather during the day. Chilly at night.
Other suggestions:
- NOLA
- Miami
- Madrid
- San Juan, Puerto Rico
