There are 30K redemption options with low cash components currently available for the return trip on December 27.
I would also look at flying in/out of nearby cities of possible with an award. For example you may be able to get a basic economy flight LAX-PHX for under $100, or a web special for 6500 miles. Same with SFO. When I want flexibility like this, I would much prefer to use awards. It will take some legwork to check all the options but IMO it's worth it.
