Personally, the greatest place to spend Christmas is right inside your own home with your family and loved-ones gathered together. But, in some cases, Christmas can be the only time to get away from it all, i.e your tiring work and never-ending responsibilities. Because of this, we know how important it can get to find the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and capture that joyful feeling once again.
Many seniors opt to use the holidays to visit friends and families who live far. This includes daughters and sons who somehow managed to live oceans apart from us. It’s the perfect time to get to know “new additions” to the family and compensate for the lost time with our grandchildren. Meanwhile, some senior couples who have money to spend treat the whole family to a vacation. This way, they will all be able to spend time as one big family and at the same time, make new memories in great places.
Indeed, Christmas is a very busy time for everybody. If you haven’t checked flights yet, you’ll be amazed to see that most of them are no longer accepting passengers. If this is not the time for you to host parties, check out these great Christmas destinations to visit:
· If the whole family is coming with you and you have kids in tow, be sure to check out Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. Disneyland has all the right ingredients for a perfect Christmas celebrations for seniors and kids alike. It’s a theme park, it has great hotels and of course, it’s magical. Aside from that, you can also visit other theme parks while in Orlando.
· Christmas season can be so nasty to our aching bones and joints. To get away from it all and discover a culture that is a whole lot different from what we practice, why not visit Hawaii? There are Christmas concerts, parades and performances that are done every year. Let’s not forget the sun, sea and sand—lot’s of them!
· Looking for something fun, daring and plain crazy? Go to Vegas and you can never go wrong! Las Vegas is, hands down, one of the best places during holidays, in fact, it’s a great place to visit the whole year round. For one, seniors will have a great time checking out hotels with festive arrangements. If you think Vegas is a bright place, expect it to be at its brightest during this time of the year.
· If you just can’t get enough of the snow and you ski like it’s going out of style, then check out ski resorts in England. What really sets the place apart from other ski resorts is that England spends Christmas the traditional way so expect the warmth to creep up on you. Also, there are many interesting places you can visit in England that are sure to enrich the mind and heart.
· If you plan to fall inlove this Christmas or perhaps rekindle the romance, don’t forget Italy.

Feel the love in Venice and watch the nativity scene being played while holding hands with someone you dearly love!
