Ahhh, the holidays. The people are jolly. The music is catchy. The lights are twinkling. What’s not to love? Sure, people travel to visit family during this time of year. But what about taking a quick trip just for fun this December? We think it’s a genius idea and want to share with you our top 3 reasons to pack up the sleigh and go for it.
1. Special Events: The Holiday Season is prime time for special events just about anywhere you go, especially at luxury hotels. For example, there is a Gingerbread Tea at The Four Seasons in Houston on Saturdays in December. You’ll also find tree lighting ceremonies, special live music performances and kid-friendly activities, like ornament decorating at hotels across the country.
2. Holiday Decor: Who doesn’t love Christmas lights and giant Christmas trees and glitter and bows and reindeer everywhere? It’s truly a special treat to see an already beautiful hotel decked out with amazing holiday decorations. Everything looks so special and festive. Look, if you haven’t seen the Christmas light display at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, you’re seriously missing out.
3. Stop and Smell the Roses: Going on a quick trip just for fun in December is a great way to basically force yourself to stop and soak in all of the holiday glory around you. When we’re at home we tend to get super duper busy and end up saying things like, “Wow, the holidays flew by this year.” But when you’re on a getaway your focus is on the trip and the fun you’re having while you’re there. Seize the moment and take in some extra holiday goodness to remind yourself what it’s all really about anyway.
