THE BEST PLACES TO SPEND CHRİSTMAS
Christmas is the most
long-celebrated, most long-awaited and most tradition-oriented holiday in the
Western world.
Weeks ahead of time,
shopping malls, stores and even some families put up their decorations to count
down the weeks to the big day.
From celebrating Advent on the
1st December by lighting the Advent candle, to opening each new door of the
Advent calendar as a child, to Christmas Carols and yummy cake, every year is
full to the brim with festive cheer.
There is no better way to
celebrate Christmas than to book a holiday and enjoy travelling with your loved
ones. The question is, where should you go.?
WAYN has compiled a list of the
most Christmassy destinations that have the best celebrations and events. Read
on to find out.!
Visit the Nordic city of
Trømso, where you will find the best views of the Aurora Borealis, or the
famous Northern Lights – breath-taking, mystical views teamed with snow and a
fabulous Christmas dinner- you cannot get more traditional than this.!
It is widely known that America
hosts some of the biggest and most elaborate holiday celebrations – so head to
Manhattan in New York City. Feel the spirt of the festive season everywhere you go; from horse-drawn carriage
rides in Central Park to the lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Centre and the
bright displays all over the city.
Experience a quintessentially
Québécois Christmas, with the historic Quebec old town and its cobbled streets,
lined with sparkling lights and cosy, traditional festive cheer. With a good
serving of snow to sled in and delectable food available from restaurants
on every street corner, you can rest assured that Christmas in Quebec is going
to be wonderful.
Have a fairytale Christmas
holiday in Lapland, the place where Father Christmas has his workshop. Besides
the beautiful Northern Lights, there is a wealth of things to do in Lapland.
Visit Urho Kekkonen National Park and ride a sled pulled by reindeer (yes,
you heard that right!) or even stay in an igloo.!
With its rich topography,
consisting of sweeping hills, mountains and deep valleys, a little dusting of
snow really sets the scene for Christmas in Scotland. In the capital city of
Edinburgh, you can expect warm fireplaces at Balmoral, beautiful bagpipe
renditions of ‘Amazing Grace’ at the Sir Walter Scott Monument, as well as a
firework show that spreads from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of
Holyroodhouse.
If you fancy something a bit
warmer but still want the Christmas cheer, then visit Old San Juan.
Celebrations start
from 2
weeks before Christmas Day! You can leave the scarves and gloves at home, for
Old San Juan in Puerto Rico has a very tropical temperature, so you’ll be
surfing the waves at Rincon, or eating the traditional pastries, or perhaps
drinking some Coquito, the Puerto Rican take on egg-nog.
Where will you be spending Christmas this year?
