'Tis the Season to Get Away

By Judi Janofsky & Rich Steck

Tired of the pressure of spending the holidays with lots of family and little time to reflect on the meaning of it all? Some of our most memorable Christmases were ones where we traveled to far away countries to experience the holiday in another culture, skied snow-covered mountains or ice-skated in Central Park after a snow storm turned the city into a winter wonderland.

Whether you're looking for an outdoor adventure, a shopping extravaganza or a day on the town, there is much you can do this year to get into the holiday spirit.
