Christmas holiday idea's?

[Oddsocks]

A couple of years ago me and misses socks flew out to Egypt for Christmas and have decided to do the same again this year, but fancy somewhere different. We were looking at Cape Verde but it would seem December and January can be very windy here.

Other than the obvious suggestions of Dominican Republic , Mexico or morocco , is there any others that are worth a look at?

Thailand, best Christmas/New Year holiday I've ever had

Cuba, we're going early next year before the yanks get in there and start spoiling it.

What sort of temps is it that time of year lads? My sister has just come back from Cuba and she loved it, but she done it with air b&b staying with locals etc

Good point. You're unpatriotic if you leave the UK

Another vote for Thailand. Chicken Pad Thai with all the trimmings and not a Brussels sprout in sight.

As Satch says, anywhere that don't serve sprouts. Loved Cuba, what about a cruise.

Barbados is lovely. My favourite place I've been

im pretty sure Xmas would be perfect weather too

HID suggest a cruise , we just haven't looked yet, had a pint around looking at Jamaica and Barbados but they were coming in well over a grand each higher than Cuba, Mexico and Dom rep.

Ps: I love sprouts!

Vietnam?

We wanted to get away from all the hoo-ha of Christmas so decided it would have to be to a) a non christian country (for obvious reasons) and b) probably non-muslim (for alcoholic reasons) so eventually settled on Vietnam. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but it you want to get away from Christmas - forget it. Never seen so many reindeer & Santa Clauses.

Rather depends on the type holiday you want though?

Cape Verde is always windy, blowing out to sea the whole time during my now 3 visits to Boa Vista. That was end of May each time, with the temps around 29/30 so the breeze was very welcome.

OP didn't say it had to be hot so why not do an alpine getaway to Switzerland - Grindelwald or Zermatt are very scenic, lots to do even if you dont ski and both pretty as a picture, very Christmassy without trying.

There's a thought! He might even get a game of golf.

Of my visit, I only remember the under-sea walking, and a shyster taxi driver. His idea of a day's tour was to take us to his uncle's gold shop, his cousin's jewellry store, his wife's sister's ....
