Question by Maggie S: Where to stay in New York City at Christmas time?
I really want to go to new york to see the christmas decorations. I was going to go last year, but never did. My mom says we should go later, but I said I want to see it at christmas time. She wants a really nice, but cheap hotel. Are there any good ones in like manhatten or other places down by the best shopping? I think we are traveling by train so if you could find a good hotel and train deal that would be great. How long do the stores keep their christmas decorations up? I know that they are up in january. Does anyone know of any good guide books that would help? I would really like all the help I could get. Please give me information along with websites. Thanks!

Nice hotel and cheap are words that do not belong together for the Manhattan area. I found the Holiday Inn on 57th to be a fairly decent price (for New York!) and the rooms were clean.
It can be a bit of a walk to the main area of 42nd street, but you get to see more of the city.

Question by imagine0218: Traveling over Christmas- how to deal with family?
My husband is deployed right now and will be coming home late November/early December ’08. He left for deployment training shortly after we are married in October. Last Christmas we spent the entire two weeks traveling between Ft. Bragg, Virginia (where we live) and the 2 locations in PA where our families lives. It was exhausting for both of us, and it was anything but relaxing for my husband, who said he refuses to do it this year. Here’s my thing. It’s not that he doesn’t want to see everyone when he comes home from deployment, but is it wrong for us to say, “Hey, we’re spending Christmas in Hawaii, alone, for a week, to get away from it all to to have some us time”? Since we’ve been married we seriously haven’t had any time to ourselves and the only time he’s been home his entire family has been around invading our privacy…seriously it’s like we’re dating. And since we’re taking a trip, is it wrong for us to skip exchanging presents? We’re not asking for presents
This will be our late honeymoon (since we couldn’t take one….Army sent him to training 3 days after the wedding)/ welcome home/ Christmas present to ourselves trip. And its probably the last thing we do before buying a house etc.
I’m not worried about my parents. They’re 110% supportive of our decision and always have been. I”m more worried about his family, and they’re the ones who guilt tripped us last year and caused us more stress into making an extra trip only to ignore us when we got there. They’re the ones who are less understanding. They’re also the ones who never visit. They’ll go all the way to NC, but they’ll never stop in VA. I’m more wondering how I deal with them. But yea I agree I shouldn’t feel guilty, I just want to know how to respond without flipping out on them and being a b*tch. =o)

Question by Sarah: Cheap caribbean vacation for week before Christmas?
I’m trying to book a cheap Caribbean vacation for two (Bahamas, Virgin Islands, St. Martin, DR, or Cancun, or similar) for the week before Christmas. When I get on the websites, they advertise a price, but as soon as I enter my details (travel dates, etc.) the price quadruples. What am I doing wrong? I am willing to fly back on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day — I thought this would make it cheaper but perhaps I am wrong? What dates would make it come up as the advertised price? I can be flexible (leaving anywhere between December 16th and 20th, coming back anywhere between 20th and 25th). Which dates/destinations would give me the best deals? Also, any recommendations as to specific destinations? Or places to book other than the websites that I have had the above mentioned problems with? I just want it to be simple! Thanks 🙂
Well, when do you have to return by for it to be considered ‘before Christmas.’ ? I have tried the 23rd, 24th, and 25th, but prices are equally high on all 3 days
Best answer:
Answer by MO
The prices always go up a lot during Christmas. Try getting airfare using American Air using flexible date search, then book your hotel separately. I got really cheap airfare through them to Jamaica for this New Years holiday. LAX to MoBay for $ 409, but I got the tickets about a month ago.
High season starts in December and continues for a few months. The most economical time to travel to the Carribean is during the months of June through August.

Question by mrswaddell: Will Christmas decorations in NYC still be up Jan 2-5, 2009?
I’m planning to travel to NYC Jan 2-5. Will the decorations still be up from Christmas? When do they take down the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center? What about after-Christmas sales…will there still be some good deals during that time?
Best answer:
Answer by Mike C
Yes they will. I believe it is usually the 10th of January when they go down. Last year we went from the 2nd to the 7th and they were up in Rockefeller the entire time.
As far as sales, that word is non-existent in NYC unfortunately.
Have fun and stay warm 🙂 !!!

Question by Nia: should I travel to see my family this Christmas?
It’s been about seven years or so, that I haven’t spent Christmas or New Years with my family (except Mom).
I found this really good deal and I saved up just in case I wanted to go.
Just that I don’t know whether I should go or not.
1. I’m a bit scared to travel alone, even though I have done it before.
2. The whether freaks me out a bit.
3. I don’t know if I should leave my boyfriend and Mom around this time of year.
4. people whom I want to visit may not have that much time left as much as I’d like them to.
If I don’t go, I may regret not going.
If I go, I may get somewhat paranoid.
Best answer:
Answer by B B
Can you take your Mom and/or boyfriend? Maybe go a few days before the holidays or a few days after if they have family commitments and can’t leave on Christmas? I think you should go. You’ll be thankful you got the time with your family and all the possible bad things won’t matter once you are there. Take books, magazines, music or whatever you need to make you feel comfortable and not paranoid and be proud that you have the guts to do it.

Question by pari: I am planning to travel to las vegas during christmas with my hubby and 20 month old son.?
Where should I stay(where I would get a good deal) and what all can i do with family. Thanks in advance
Best answer:
Answer by phem45
First off, I would not take a child to Las Vegas, it is not a place for children, but if you have to go, the Paris is nice and also we are staying in the Riveria in April. If money is no object the Bellagio or the Palms would be nice. As for things to do, the Red Rock Canyon is nice and also the Hoover Dam

Question by justmee_333: Am I wrong to not want to travel for Christmas?
I am in a spot with my family. First, a bit of background. My partner of 20 years and I split a few months ago and our daughter and I moved into a new house. I had wanted to spend our first Christmas here. My brother and sister wanted to come over for a day. Well, I work 50-60 hours/week and am still trying deal with where to put stuff in a place that’s about 1/3 the size we’d been in. I decided I just couldn’t get it pulled together here.
My sister, who has no children, lives an hour away from me. I was hoping we could have it there, but my brother, whose children are grown, instead said it will now be at his house which is several hours out of state. Our sister has too many housepets for his liking, and his home is a veritable mansion.
Personally, I don’t want to do this traveling. My daughter is gone for 3 days on the opposite end of the state with her dad’s family. The brakes are going on my car, and I can’t get them fixed in time. Where we live is experiencing deadly cold and storms all week. I don’t think it’s safe for me to travel. Plus daughter would have approximately 1 hour to unpack and repack, then be on the road for hours again. She doesn’t want to travel any more either. Like me, she’d wanted to spend our first Christmas at our house, together.
I mentioned this to my sister last night and she blew a gasket, hurling all sorts of insults and names my way. I would love to see my siblings, but the thought of all the travel is completely taking any joy out of the season. Am I really being that unreasonable to want to spend my first Christmas as a single parent at home with my child, who wants the same?
Forgot to add that we’ve also been dealing with frozen water pipes, and I’m afraid to leave the place unattended for 2-3 days. If the pipes burst, the results will be devastating. There are no neighbors that will be around that would be able to check the place for me.
