Spend your Christmas holiday celebrating on the Hawaiian Islands.
December is a cold, winter month that just happens to be the month of Christmas. Christmas carols and songs all refer to the holiday as being white, snow-filled, and cold, but not everyone spends their Christmases driving to the mall on snow-covered streets while wearing winter coats and mittens. Hawaiians and Hawaiian tourists spend their Christmases wearing flip-flops and do their Christmas shopping in between surf lessons and oceanfront massages. Even in the cold, winter month of December, Hawaiian weather is warm, sunny, and perfect for spending Christmas on the beach. Does this Spark an idea?

Your friends and family at home will be green with envy when you bring home photos of yourself in the infinity pool on Christmas Eve, sipping a fruity cocktail with a decorative little umbrella. If you have children, the concierge is happy to reassure them that even though there isn't a fireplace in your guest room for Santa to enter on Christmas night, the staff lets him right in, to ensure their gifts are delivered in time for Christmas morning.
