Spending time with family and loved ones is a central part of the holiday season, and many people choose their Christmas vacations to escape the stresses of their everyday lives.
Whether traveling to a snowy winter wonderland or simply lounging by the pool at a sunny resort, people use their Christmas vacations as an opportunity to kick back and recharge before the new year begins.
Each year, starting on December 1st and continuing throughout the month, local shops and businesses put up holiday decorations ranging from glittering lights to handmade ornaments.
