Welcome to my annual 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS!
If you’re new to this – here’s how it works:
1. Each day from December 1 through December 12 I will put up a new giveaway HERE on my website with instructions on how to enter, a detailed description of the prize, and some stuff about the book or series. Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER. MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL
2. Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.
3. Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners USING THE EMAIL USED TO COMMENT ON THIS BLOG – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.
4. Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.
5. ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15. If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it. I live in the middle of nowhere so a trip to the post office is a “thing” for me. 🙂 So make sure you’re checking for winners on the 14th.
6. I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy.
7. You can also FOLLOW MY BLOG. I will also make a blog post HERE announcing ALL WINNERS on the 14th. If you want to follow this blog there will be a form at the bottom of each post to do that. Then you get an email when I POST HERE. I don’t do that often – December is the exception because of the 12 Days and my yearly “Wrap-up” post.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
THAT’S IT! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS!
The world is INSANE right now so I’m just trying to spread some cheer and give back to all of you who support me and enjoy the stories I create.

IN EACH POST I WILL HIGHLIGHT A BOOK
TODAY’S BOOK HIGHLIGHT IS THE TURNING SERIES BOX SET!
TAKING TURNS
(TURNING SERIES BOX SET!)
This 2500+ page set contains the USA Today Bestselling Series and spinoffs Taking Turns, Turning Back, His Turn, Total Exposure, The Pleasure of Panic, The Boyfriend Experience, and Play Dirty. More than 100,000 copies sold worldwide.
TAKING TURNS – When her friend wants out of an arrangement she has with the owners of the exclusive invitation-only Turning Point Club, Chella is only too happy to take her place. Her time with them was supposed to be temporary. Just a little trip into the dark. A teeny-tiny peek into the forbidden. She never expected to like them. And she certainly never expected to fall in love.
TURNING BACK – Rochelle left Turning Point Club behind last year. She made a new life and moved on. But when Bric shows up asking if she’d like to play again, she can’t resist. What she had with them could’ve been so much more. It would’ve been so much better if she didn’t let it get so… personal. But now she’s got her priorities straight. She doesn’t need them. They need her. And this time, she’s playing for pleasure.
HIS TURN – Bric’s friends are settling down. That game is over but no one said he couldn’t play another one with new people. Jordan Wells is a lot like Bric—demanding, stubborn, and dominant. And he’s got a third player for them—but she’s just like Bric too. Three alphas vying for control of the game? It’s ridiculous. But it sure won’t be boring.
TOTAL EXPOSURE – When her therapist suggests the unconventional treatment of total exposure to cure Evangeline’s fear of being watched, she is scared to death. But the anonymous stranger on the other side of the cameras isn’t playing by the rules. He leaves her commanding notes, demanding she obey—and suddenly Evangeline finds herself craving his attention.
THE PLEASURE OF PANIC – Issy has no interest in other people’s games. She’s a player, for sure. A good one too. But she is control one-hundred percent of the time no matter what. Until her best friend, Chella, gifts her a game from Jordan Wells she never asked to play. Suddenly her whole life is turned upside down and… it’s not terrible. Because there’s a hot bodyguard playing along with her.
THE BOYFRIEND EXPERIENCE – Oaklee needs a boyfriend like… yesterday. And Jordan Wells is the game master, so she hits him up for a fake boyfriend game. Unfortunately for Oaklee, her reputation precedes her and Lawton Ayres the only guy left in town willing to put up with her over-the-top antics. He’s a billionaire, he’s well-dressed, well spoken, smart, kind… and well, he’s sorta perfect. But she’s not buying the boyfriend for herself, she needs Lawton to ruin her arch enemy. This is probably not going to turn out the way she imagined…
PLAY DIRTY – Jordan is tired of the games. He doesn’t want to do it anymore. He wants the love he lost years ago. And when she shows up looking to try again, for a moment he thinks it might work out. But it was never just the two of them. It was always three. And suddenly Jordan finds himself playing a whole new game. One he didn’t set up. One he’s not in control of. One that will change his life forever.

Someplace tropical besides Florida – we have all been there but have not been anywhere else. Perhaps Fiji or the Cayman Islands… btw – the turning series is the only series I haven’t listened to yet (I have almost all of your books in audible), and I have none of your books in hard book form. Would love these!! thank you
My dream vacation is touring all of Italy, every single area, will need to win the lottery though LOL!
All over Italy.
I would love to take the entire family to Yosemite National Park and stay at the Tenaya Lodge for a white Christmas!
I would go somewhere tropical, so that I can sit in the sun, and not have to worry about the Hussle and Bussle of the holidays, and that way my WHOLE family can relax.
I would vacation in Finland. I have relatives there.
I would do the whole European tour, I want to hit Hungary, where my mother’s side of the family come from, and also hit some German Christmas markets, that’s a big bucket list item. My father’s side comes from Ireland so I would try to squeeze that in also.
Scotland. As much as I want the heat and salt water I would plan the family for Scotland. I want to see castle and Christmas lights galore.
We are doing it this year. Our families are so scattered and to be honest, not sure any of them would WANT to vacation with us lol…but we decided to go to Dublin for Christmas and we are now 15 days from lift off
That’s so awesome! I hope you all have the best time!
I would love to go to Ireland with my family.
Paris has been on my list for a long time!
Florida, my grandmother is almost 90 (she doesn’t travel anymore) and it would be great for the whole family to spend time with her for the holidays.
The Dominican Republic! My husband is from there and we don’t get back very often due to the cost for our large family.
I would take every one to Italy. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Oh yes a private island sounds like a wonderful idea. I would do the same anywhere in Hawaii and include a chef as well other staff so none of us would have to lift a finger. LOL! It would be a very Happy Holidays for all of us indeed. 😊
Hawaii. I would like to experience how they celebrate Christmas there. I’ve only know Ohio Christmas.

Honolulu, so we could spend Christmas with the rest of our family. Our daughter has only seen them once and she was too little to remember.
I would go to the Christmas markets in Germany! After reading about them in a romcom I looked them up & they just sound like it would be an amazing experience! Then after I would hit the beach! Maldives, Bora Bora or Fiji! I don’t care which one as long as it’s warm!
Puerto Rico. The beaches are beautiful, the waters warm and the food is fantastic.
It would have to be a pretty big island for my lot and would need plenty of activities, maybe Bossy Luke could help with the water sports 😁
I would love to take my family somewhere warm and tropical. Hawaii, Fiji, or Bora Bora would be lovely for Christmas. 🏝
I would go to Puerto Morelos, Mexico. It’s so beautiful there and I love the beach and authentic Mexican food.

Anywhere that is snowy!!!

New Zeeland. Id love to take my family to New Zeeland. The country is absolutely gorgeous and being 1/2 way around the world would be a trip of a lifetime.
I want to take rhe family to the Caribbean Islands. We went to myrtle beach over the summer and they love it so I would love to go some where with clearer waters.
I would love to go to Scotland. I’ve never been but have been dreaming of going.
Ireland
We just talked about this the other day!! We all want to go to New York City at Christmas time!! There is so much we want to see, I’m not sure if 5 days will be enough!!
Ireland.
I would love to go to beautiful Greece…it’s on my bucket list…I will get there!
I take my family to Maui, so I could spend it with my extend Hawian family as well.
I mean if we are dreaming I would like to take a trip around the world! I would love to go to Fiji, Italy,France,England , Germany, Spain, Greece, New Zealand, Australia ❤️ just make a few months to a tracing around.
New Zealand…it would be fun to experience a summer Christmas!
Well, now. I think I’ll bring my family and join you in Fiji. That sounds luxurious!
We would go somewhere warm like Maui
I would love to take a cruise with my family to the Caribbean!
I would love to go to Peru and see Machu Picchu or go to Scotland, but this is their rainy season, so I’d probably go to Thailand during this time of year.
Switzerland
It would definitely be Rome!!!
My son has always wanted to go to Italy so I think that would be a great vacation spot
I would like to go to the little village in Sicily that my grandparents were from
Scotland, Ireland or Hawaii
Any beach with a house with a beautiful view.
I would love to go back to Hawaii and bring my family.
Italy and the wonderful European Christmas markets
I would love to go to any tropical island. Lounging on the beach and reading sounds like heaven right now.
Skiing in Switzerland! I grew up on a Caribbean island so I’m forever dreaming of a white Christmas. ❤️
Anywhere in the mountains inthe US with snow
If I could I would take them to Sicily
I would take them to Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for a bit in my early 20’s and my kids love the stories I share of my adventures there, I would love for them to experience that for themselves.
I would take my family to Bora Bora. We could all use a relaxing beautiful vacation after losing my father.
I would have to say a tropical private island with no cell service.
I would love to go to the beach somewhere but my siblings wouldn’t like that so I think a tour of Italy
A family trip to Italy for the holidays would be amazing.
Italy. Most of my family is itialian.
I would love to take my family to Greece or anywhere warm with a beach!
If I could take everyone in my family anywhere for Christmas it would be Colorado to ski. My daughter doesn’t know how but I would teach her the same way I learned. My mom put me in between her legs and taught me how to ski when I was four. It put a love for the snow in me. I no longer live where it snows every year. I miss it terribly.
I would rent a cabin in Gaitlingberg TN
I would visit Scotland. colby69@verizon.net
I would take all my family to New Zealand for a nature vacation. We all do the “No Plan” or “Low Plan” vacation. We pick just a couple of planned outings and play it by ear the rest of the time. We always end up rested and refreshed and spend quality time with those we love.
Reading through the Bossy’s again, so Key West had been sounding good to me. Outside of that, Switzerland, Italy, or somewhere warm and sandy.
Anywhere in the world is hard to pick from but I’d pick a lakefront house with lots of relaxing and family time 😊😊 it’s my favorite
I agree with Julie – Fiji but the most remote resort possible for pure relaxation and calm. Nothing too full of tourists. Snorkeling and beach time all day.
England or Ireland
I woils want to go to Disney World!
I’d love to go somewhere out west like Montana or Colorado. Stay in a large cabin in the mountains and explore nature. Shop in the little hallmark movie type town.
I would go to Ireland it’s supposed to beautiful there and some of my ancestors are from there.
Would love to read & review this series in print format
My favorite movie is Under The Tuscan Sun, so I think Italy.
An all inclusive in the Caribbean! Lots of sun and beaches
Yep Fiji would be perfect on the beach or a hut on the ocean. My bucket list trip! One day 😌
I would go to the coast of Maine, a cottage on the ocean where we could enjoy the fireplaces and view of the sea and visit all the seaside villages decorated for the holidays and enjoy all the festivities and tree lightings they have.
I would vacation in a castle in Scotland.
I would go see the Northern Lights and take my family to see England and just roam the country side and continue on to Scotland.
It depends; I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland and I feel like that would be perfect during the holidays, but I also love the sun and I feel like a beach holiday would be a good Christmas gift to cure the seasonal depression, aha
I would take my family to a gorgeous cabin in Colorado and enjoy all the snow and have a white Christmas!! Its been a dream of ours for 1 Christmas to do!
Personally, I’d like to go to the island with the pigs 🐷🐷🐷
I’d go to Turks & Caicos. That’s my dream destination. Having my family there would be icing on the cake.
Since it’s on my bucket list I’ll say Hawaii. Warm weather & the beach ! My family would love it 🏝🏝🏝
Any chance for a whole family vaca, I need tropical sun & sand so I would do a Caribbean resort like the Bahamas or St. Thomas. What a treat that would be!
We would go back to Alaska!! We miss it daily. We lived there for 10yrs. My two youngest was born there. Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you for this fabulous chance.
I would love to see New Zealand or the islands off the west coast of Scotland.
I’d have to say Jamaica. I went there on a cruise once and I’d love to go back.
I was going to say Ireland until I kept reading and saw “for the Holidays”….too cold for me during the Holidays! 🤣 So for a family trip during the Holidays, I agree with your beach theme. Fiji has always been on my list, but Sydney sounds great too.
So many choices! Since it’s for the holidays I’d want to go somewhere with snow. I love the idea of a castle in Scotland or Ireland.
I would vacation in Mexico with the fam.
I would take my whole family to Turtle Island Fiji. My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary there a few years ago, and I’ve dreamed of booking the whole island for a big family vacation.It’s a private island with only 14 bures on the entire island, and it was absolutely magical!
I have a dream of going to Germany for Christmas. I think they do it up right.
I live in Canada and I have only seen the mountains out west one time so I would take my whole family to Alberta to spend time in Banff.
I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland
New Zealand!
Somewhere snowy!! We live in South Carolina and we almost never have snow. Only one white Christmas in my lifetime, about 12 yrs ago. But I am coming to Colorado the day after Christmas on a work trip! I’m excited because I’ve never been. 😁
My dream is to go to Ireland so that’s where I would want us all to go. Not the tourist Ireland either. Some small countryside town would be my happy place.
Definitely Scotland
Germany!
We would find a bungalow on the beach in Hawaii, not near the erupting volcano. It is my favorite place on Earth. I was “made” there.
I’d love to go to Norway to see the Northern Lights, also anywhere with snow.
Cruise to anywhere
Canada, because me and my parents always talked about going to go there.
All of us with the dogs in a cabin in the woods, a fireplace and just being cozy
I would take the whole family – extended family also – to Guam. My son got married on the beach there 3 years ago and we fell in love with the beaches, snorkeling, weather and the people.
I would take everyone to Italy…Buon Natale!
Anywhere with over the water bungalows
For a holiday vacation I think I would want to go somewhere tropical.
I have a dream to spend a month or more in Europe; but I would want to go in the spring or fall.
I think for the holidays I’d like to go to Australia (money being no object)
I have always wanted to go to New Zealand! I’m sure it wouldn’t feel the most festive, since it’s supposed to be snowy at Christmas (though it never is here in Arkansas anyway) but taking my whole family on a trip there for the holidays would be amazing! (Honestly, as long as we’re all together, it doesn’t matter where we are.) 😀
I would take everyone to Denmark so they can meet their family over there
I don’t think I’d want to vacation anywhere for the holidays because, for me, it’s all about being home with family. This year I especially want to be home because we are celebrating our first Christmas in our new house (moved from CA to WI over the summer).
I would take my family to the Swiss Alps where we’d stay in a mountainside chalet, surrounded by snow!
Scotland, the home of my ancestors would be where we would spend Christmas
For the holidays, I’d take my whole family to Bavaria in Germany.
Hawaii or Italy.
I would take my family to Ireland. That is one place I have always wanted to visit
If I could go anywhere, then I would take my mom to New Zealand. It is on both of our bucket lists and we both really want to see it. It also has the added benefit of being just about to start its summer and that beats here all hollow!
Italy is number one on my family’s bucket list. My Mom was all Italian and it was her dream. We would like to make that dream come true through us.
I would love to take the whole family to Hawii although I think it may be a bit hard to get everyone to come back. Lol
Ireland or Australia would be awesome.
My grandfather jumped a ship from wales to the us when he was 17. I have relatives in wales. I would love to take my family there. Italy is also on my bucket list!
I have always wanted to visit Hawaii so that is were we would go.
Honestly? I’d really love to be able to take my whole family to a cabin secluded away from other people (ya know, because of COVID and the flu and mpox). Wouldn’t need a lot of technology, just some board games and a kitchen full of food to cook. Just to relax and hang out together. I miss not seeing them. Everyone’s so busy. Heck, I’d be happy if we could just be able to have Christmas together.
Germany or France, i hear that the holidays are amazing during that time.
This would be amazing! My Dad passed away when I was 5, and I have never met all of his family, but it has been a dream of mine. So I would take my family to Cork, Ireland to meet all of the rest of my Dad’s family. Meeting them, taking pictures, making memories, and enjoying a beautiful country…that would be heavenly. 🥰
Ireland/Scotland or japan or Germany
My bunch loves nature and private environments so I would want to plan a 1 week vacation spending 3 days at Soaring Eagle Cabin — Luxury & Modern Rental for Large Groups Location: Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia then 4 days at H + H Toccoa River Cabin in Suches, Georgia.
Oh man.. it’s would be a toss up of Ireland or Scotland. Tough choice
If I ever had the money (which I won’t), I’d love to go to either Hawaii or the Fiji islands. It would be only me as I don’t have a family of my own. Perhaps my dog could come!
Scotland would be my choice
Colorado and Wyoming. Simple as that. Although they will need warm weather… 😏 But you asked me where!
Love you. 🙂💜
Australia and New Zealand for some awesome wildlife photography
I’ve always wanted to go to the Maldives! I’d love to take my family and get one of those huts on the water with a giant water slide!
I always see pics of the Maldives. I would love to go there. Looks so calm and just gorgeous.
Paris! All the lights! 🥰
I would go back to New Zealand for the holidays, because I freaking love NZ. Or Jasper Canada, because it is gorgeous and snowy
If it had to be in the US I’d say anywhere on the beach…international definitely Ireland or Scotland
I would love to take my kids and grandkids to Hawaii. We used to live there when my older 2 kids were very young. I would love to show everyone where we lived, to see how much things are the same and how much Hawaii has changed in 30 years.
Anywhere tropical! We have only ever seen a beach in Galveston and I would love to see white sand and blue water!
I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland, tour castles , visit pubs, and check out the country side..
Thank you
I would love to visit Italy.
Skiing and riding the Swiss Alps.
Italy, Barcelona, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia
There are two places. The Highlands of Scotland or maybe Aspen. Really anywhere there is snow!
If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be a month long vacation to Italy! So much there, the history and the food would be so fantastic!
Honestly we are not “travellers”.
I would say I’d love to vacation during the holidays at our property we have on the lake that we can’t access this time of year due to snow.
I would take my family to Iceland!
There are so many places we want to go. Kids want to go to Japan to see all the anime stuff, I want to go to Scotland to see all the castles, and hubby & I also want to go to Paris. To holiday at any would be a dream come true.
Paris
I would go to Ireland. My mother went there and she said it was lovely.
Australia
I’d go to Bora Bora – it’s my dream to stay in one of those huts on the water!
I’d love to do the 21 day Hawaii cruise. My boys are older so they’d have limited internet and we’d all be present and together. For me personally the gift of time mean more than anything else.
Japan
Italy
I’m thinking either Hawaii or Australia. Also I have to say that Taking Turns is by far my favorite series EVER!!!😍😍😍
A cruise anywhere tropical, with blue waters and multiple islands to visit! Bucket list for sure, but having the whole famn damily along would be the ultimate vacation. I am happy imagining any of us having a dream like that come true.
Anywhere WARM it’s -45c here today !! Jamaica, Mexico anywhere but here
Hawaii,
Hawaii, Mexico, any warm, tropical beach. Fiji sounds great too. Maybe the Maldives.
If I could vacation anywhere (and this is fictional) so then we would all go to Israel bc my mother hasn’t been able to get over there since more than 9 grandchildren made Aliyah. Between them (I kid you not) there are now 15 great grandchildren, and two more on the way, one within the next few months and one next May. These are actually great grandchildren thru marriage, but most of the grandchildren and all of the great grandchildren have never known another grandmother, so I feel it’s the same. (And since her four daughters managed to give her just one grandchild between us, I definitely feel she should look upon these kids as her own!) They took the idea of be fruitful and multiply really really seriously!! 😂😂😂
P.S. Since you asked in almost all other days, The Turning Series and Jordan’s Games, in particular Play Dirty w Jordan Wells was and remains one of my all time favorite series that you wrote. I’m not sure if it’s bc that’s how I discovered your books or (more likely) they contained the type of consensual but strangely kinky ways in which adults interact that caught my eye but Jordan himself changed from a horny young man to a tortured soul that needed to be rescued by his former lovers. There’s always a specific balance that has to be maintained, but that’s true of any relationship. In any case, I know you didn’t ask, but this would be my only chance to say so!! 🥰
100% Hawaii!!!
Disney. We’ve never been (well, my husband went as a teen) and will likely never go. I think it’s something we’d all get a thrill from. Thanks for the chance and, happy holidays, Julie!
I would go to Key West or the Bahamas!
We have been talking about going skiing in Colorado for years. When you have 12-15 people trying to coordinate time off and travel it gets crazy. But the last year my husband and I have been talking about taking our 3 kids, and son-in-law somewhere to a cabin in the woods just to get a way.
Hopefully it will happen soon
Merry Christmas
My dream is to vacation anywhere with the private huts in the ocean. Any of them. All of them. Unfortunately, my hubby is not a relax on the beach kind of vacation guy so I take the bestie on those trips. So, I would take them somewhere we could get out a bit. Maybe Italy.
Would love to visit Israel. Have dreamed about visiting for so many years.
Greece!!!!
I would take my entire family back to Laos to visit family and my children can see their culture and heritage.
I would love a vacation where you stay in those bubble rooms and get to watch the aurora borealis.
I would love to take my whole family and friends to Hawaii for Christmas ⛄🎄
Fiji looks great. I think I’d like somewhere with clear turquoise water and white sandy beaches. Or the fancy pink beach I saw once. No idea where lol but some pretty corner of paradise. Or somewhere with wild horses. I’d love to see them 🥰
I’d love to take everyone to the UK for the holidays.
I would love to go to Greece. A week there with all my loved ones. A dream come true
I would love to go on a castle tour around Scotland and Ireland.
I’m with you! Figi, always wanted to go there!
Italy. I’ve always wanted to go
I’ve always wanted to see Australia but maybe get voted out for the private beach
I’m half Filipino and would love to go back to the Philippines since I haven’t been back in 40 years, I would love for my daughters and granddaughters to see this side of their bloodline, traditions, and beauty
A Christmas cruise to Alaska
Def somewhere tropical, Fiji or bora bora would be nice!!!
I have 2 favorite spots. We’ve done New Years in Aruba. It was great. My favorite vaca is Bermuda. It’s beautiful relaxing and has great food. Best beaches in the world. Love the Fairmont hotel there.
I would really love to visit Ireland, but I’m not sure I’d want to do that for the holidays. I think for the holidays a nice tropical island would be amazing, sun and sand for the win!
France!!! Or anywhere in Europe!!
Scotland! And live in a castle! With a sexay tuff and buff Scottish man with the manners of a gentleman 😉
Hey, a girl can dream , right?
Somewhere in a cave? Seeing no one? But still with good food :p
Turks and Caicos, my family and I just booked this vacation for 2024 and I’m so excited for our relaxation time in the sun!
New Zealand!
My bucket list trip is Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, but if it is a trip with my whole family for the holidays, it would have to be Italy since we have family there too and it would be great to have everyone together!!
We have always wanted to visit Ireland. Regardless of the weather, my husband wants to play golf there. I want castles and culture. The kids and grandkids need some culture but I am sure I will babysit while they hit the pubs.
New Zealand is on the top of my list but I think if it is my whole family we would like someplace sun and sand so probably Key West would be awesome. Rent a huge house for the whole family.
A Christmas town in a Hallmark movie with streets overdecorated, a town barn dance and ice skating rink in the town square.
And of course….a sleigh ride with jingle bells.
I would take me and my family to Ireland and spend the month of November. It just seems so beautiful there
Well, most all of my family like the beach and the water, so pretty much anywhere that is sunny, warm and on the water. Hawaii, Maldives, some place like that.
Somewhere that is hot & sunny with something to do for all the family
If I could take my family anywhere on a memorable Christmas trip, that would definitely be to Greece. Our grandparents and great-grandparents were born in Greece and Albania and we have never been ourselves. That would be a great trip to share together. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My dream vacation would be Hawaii. I am absolutely in love with Hawaii even though I have never been. The Hawaiian Islands have such a rich history and culture and I would love to explore the palace and rainforests and I could easily watch the surfers all day. I’ve also heard that there is a library that has a section dedicated to Charlie Chan due to Earl Derr Biggers being inspired to create him during his time in Honolulu and an author recently told me that the Halekulani Hotel has a restaurant called House Without a Key after one of his books! I read travel Hawaiian travel guides for fun, learned the area code is 808 for the islands and the 1970s Hawaii 5-0 tv show is a real treat for me because besides the great acting, I see so much of the beauty of Hawaii. Hawaii has had me in its thrall since I was a little girl, and the only thing I can think of why is because I loved singing to those C & H commercials so darn much. That sugar cane must have really imprinted on me, LOL!
I would love to take everyone to Hawaii, we were married on the island of Kauai and next year we will be celebrating 20 years.
Golly…. I’d love to pack up and head to someplace tropical for Christmas, but after our trip to Pigeon Forge, TN this past summer….. those mountains, man. They were beautiful and so refreshing. I’d love to spend Christmas there!
Iceland so we can explore.
Since I’m a single mother I’d take my 4y.o. girl to India cuz she loves elephants and I love the nature in there, my grandmother goes there once a year and she loves it
Maybe somewhere that would give us a white Christmas, as I’m in New Zealand, it’s summertime at Christmas and all the movies and most of the images you see are winter wonderland type things, lol.
Paris would be amazing for xmas!
I would go to either Alaska or Hawaii as would love to take the family to both places.
I would love to spend the holidays in New Zealand with my family. It’s top on my bucket list if places to visit. It has snow, beaches, rainforest… it has it all!
Thanks for the amazing chance!
I would take us all to the Bahamas for some sun and beach on a private location so we could just spread out and have family games barbecue and just relax.
Hawaii. I need sun, sea/ocean, and beaches.
I would love to go to the Caribbean with my family. It’s always been a dream to go there.
I would like to have 1 more Christmas in my childhood home. My Mom named it “The Grand Lady”. To be able to have my parents back for one more Christmas would be The Best Christmas ever.
I would take hubby to the Bay of Islands in New Zealand for a sub-tropical Christmas. 🌲
I would take my family to RIU hotel in Cancun. We used to go every year before my parents got sick. I would book private plane, bring awesome doctor with us and go for entire week
I would love to go to Hawaii or the Bahamas!
Definitely some place warm. I’ve always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand but I wouldn’t want to take the whole family. Maybe Key West.
Greece I would love to take my whole family there! It’s so beautiful and would be a great experience for all of us. But as long as we are together for the holidays is all that matters.
Disney world
I would vacation in a remote castle in Scotland ~ always been on my bucket list and my kids would love to visit anywhere in the UK. I haven’t been there in almost 4 decades. Missing my past.
To Aspen! Thank you so much.
I would go to Austria with my daughter as it’s stunningly beautiful
I’d like to take them to Australia or on an African safari trip
i would love to see paris!
Turks & Caicos! It looks like heaven on earth. I’ve seen it on real estate shows and the travel channel. Definitely paradise.
We would love to take a trip to England
Bora Bora. Sun sand and bungalows over the water.
I would take my family to Europe to visit ALL the Christmas markets and have all the gingerbread cookies.
It would be Italy for me, likely somewhere on the southern coast.
Gosh what a question! So many places popped in my mind. I am from Florida where we barely have a winter. I would love to spend it some place magical, with snow and lights. A small town vibe with a lot of history and sights to see. Something out of those cheesy rom-com Christmas movies would be fun and relaxing. If that could happen in Ireland, that would be great. Or Switzerland. I’d love to see places where they filmed Lord of the Rings. Maybe stay in a hobbit house. But you know someone said a full Manhattan Christmas, that would actually be pretty cool too. Home Alone vibes and all. My bucket place traveling destinations are Ireland Scotland and somewhere jungly in South America. But I think for Christmas, because we don’t get snow in Florida, it’d definitely have to be a snowy place. Me and hubby would love that, and my kids would too.
I like your private island idea for sure! As much as I have always longed to travel leisurely through all of Europe (money and time immaterial in my fantasy, of course) I feel like I could really use the extended unplug and privacy of an island this holiday.
Hawaii
I would rent a giant house, definitely somewhere warm on a beach. Maybe go big..Caicos islands.
I would love to be snowed in anywhere with just my family,good food and a fire
I would love to take my family on a cruise to Hawaii.
Europe to see Italy, Ireland, & Croatia! Xo
I would go to Ireland. My husband’s family is from there. and I would love to share the countryside cliffs and villages with my family.
Italy
Anywhere that’s warm, sunny and has a good beach! I was supposed to go on that dream vacation but then covid shut down the world and now I have a toddler so… Life’s a lot different now hahaha
Australia. My husband wants to swim with the sharks, I want to go to the zoo, I want to go to a signing over there and eat all the chocolates and cookies..lol I also want to visit their best and most magical book stores.
I would take my husband and sons with their partners to the Galápagos Islands. I think the nature and the undisturbed beauty is something to treasure for a lifetime
I’d take the family to the Scottish Highlands for a true Scots Christmas, in a castle preferably.
Christmas is in summer where I live, so I’d love to spend a white Christmas with my in-laws who live in Montana. Plus the state just looks gorgeous overall.
We have always wanted to visit Australia. It looks beautiful
I have several places that are on my bucket list. Bora Bora, Roatan, Ireland, and Australia
I couldn’t do a trip with my entire family. I’d lose my mind!
I don’t have a whole lot of family left since my parents, husband, my only child, and one brother have all passed on. But, if I had unlimited time and resources, I would love to pack up my remaining brothers and their families to spend Thanksgiving through New Year in Belgium, where one of my brothers lives. While in Europe, we would take short trips to France, Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, or any place that grabs our fancy. But the most important part of my Christmas wish is not where we are but who we are with. It would be such a blessing for all of us to be together for what would likely be the last time.
Italy
Oh boy I really don’t know but we would get outa town and fly somewhere out of the country just don’t know where
Colorado. Fingers crossed for snow of course and enjoying seeing the places where my fav book people live
Ooh, ok, has to be a Royal Caribbean cruise – (there’s no CoVid in this dream, right?) something for everyone there and destination is Scotland, country of my heart.
Scotland. Just beautiful!
I would definitely go to a private island in Hawaii.Having waiter service on us 24/7 and just relax and have fun.
Thanks for the chance 💕
Fun question! Difficult question, too many places I want to go! 🤪 I think I would also go somewhere warm. I’ve always wanted to go to Bora Bora so I think that’s where I would go with everyone 🙂
Austria! When I was a kid I was lucky enough to take a trip to Europe with my parents and grandparents. Austria was such a beautiful and magical looking country that I believe would be even better around Christmas. Now…. on the flip side….. with all your books to build the vision in my head, a private island , blue skies, ocean, and white sand beaches does hold a lot of appeal. 🙂
Hi Julie! Well, I’m kinda lame so I’d say we’d all stay where we live because there is no place like home. But, I’ll play, I think I’d love for the whole family go somewhere snowy with lots of activities and rooms far from each other in case we get on each others nerves. Thanks for the wonderful giveaways!
Scotland or Costa Rica
I would visit Hawaii
I would line to take everyone to Europe since I still have never been!
I would go to Ireland!!
Although I love the sea, hubby is not a great fan. I think the perfect holiday for us would be half the time on a beach vacation and the other half in the bush, walking, observing and seeing things in nature
Key west Florida!!!! Its a beautiful place with the clear blue water and great people!!! I’d love to live their full time! Ty! For the chance at this fabulous prize.❤💋
In my perfect world fantasy, my Mom would be well enough to travel with my family to visit Germany where she has always wanted to go and see the castles and find our ancestors.
One of those cabana huts (I’m sure they have a name lol) out over the ocean that has glass floors so you can see the sea life from inside. It will be warm and beautiful. We can swim and snorkel. See the coral reefs… Sounds like heaven since it is so clod here!
I would love to vacation in Hawaii for the holidays with my family.
Hi – The perfect vacation with my whole family would be going back to Italy. My husband and I went there with our kids in 2019. I felt like home there and yearn to go back. We even visited the town my family came from in southern Italy. Our two week stay was a wonderful experience. I would love to be there and experience the country with my parents also with us. Thank you
I would love to go to Iceland or Switzerland, I would also love to take my mum to New York or Miami also! Such a hard choice! The world has so many beautiful places I would love to go to its hard to pick one
I would love to go to Iceland or Switzerland, I would also love to take my mum to New York or Hawaii also! Such a hard choice! The world has so many beautiful places I would love to go to its hard to pick one
Galapagos Islands as I love to experience animals and nature in their natural habitat
Colorado or Ireland
I would love to holiday in France with my girls. Rural not city. In a cute cottage surrounded by vineyards.
I have pre teens so they would love to visit Disney in Florida or California. And I would provably need to be medicated.
I would go on an Alaskan cruise! Have a magical holiday season~
Italy they celebrate for a month!
I would love to go to Hawaii. I have never been somewhere warm during Christmas.
I’ve been to a lot of places but Hawaii is one place I’d love to visit next
I would love to go to Hawaii. I have never been anywhere warm for Christmas. I’m from Minnesota
It would have to be somewhere warm. My 97 year old Dad lives with me in Florida and he says its cold. So Somewhere like Figi or Bora Bora.
Thank You.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all ⛄️🎅🤶🎄
I would love to visit Japan again.
I would go to the Maldive it has always been my dream holiday x
I would take my mom to London/UK since I’ve wanted to go back since my study abroad, and my mom has never been to Europe.
Ooh tough one. There are so many places I want to visit.
I’ve always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower. Those French cafés look awesome.
But if taking my whole family I would pick Ireland. Those green hillsides look amazing. Something the whole family could enjoy. The scenery!
Someplace tropical
I would love to spend the holidays in Hawaii
I would love for my family and I to visit Hawaii.
Would love to take them all to Scotland or Ireland.
I would take us all to my favorite spot that I visit year after year, Destin, FL. And while I’m wish-listing, I’d like to also wish for an added 20 degrees to the daily high in December in Destin.
Hawaii! I hate the cold…my cats hate the cold…even my car hates the cold.
I would go somewhere snowy like Austria and Germany or the French Alps. The European Christmas markets look wonderful and I like snow, so I would really enjoy that. The only way I’d travel at Christmas is if I could afford a private plane.
I would love to go to the Maldives to a private villa!
So hard to choose….either a sunny beach in Bora Bora or a snowy wonderland in Iceland!
I would take my family to either Ireland or Scotland. To enjoy the beautiful scenery and look at the castles and learn a little history.
Copenhagen, Denmark
I think I would take them to Australia if I could get everyone first class tickets. There’s just so many cool things in Australia.
Fiji does sound awesome, but I want to take my whole family to Disneyworld for the holidays.
South Island New Zealand or LA or London. New Zealand because I am from there, LA for theme parks and London for Harry Potter stuff 🙂
I would love to take my family some place that is fun, interesting and some covert educational, Hawaii for obvious reasons beautiful but lots to learn, Washington DC, Cleveland Rock and Roll hall of fame, football hall of fame, so many more, thank you for the opportunity, Dana Zamora
Hawaii
This one really has me thinking. I have never thought about going somewhere for Christmas before. I thought somewhere warm as being from Iowa I hate the cold and snow. Then I thought what would be breath taking beautiful to see at Christmas. I have settled on Norway. Norway is the best place to view the Northern Lights at Christmas. Christmas Eve is also my husband’s birthday so that would be a really cool birthday present for him.
Egypt
Hawaii
Scotland for sure. Aside from being being beautiful, it has so much history. I’d love to explore where my families clan came from.
I would love to take my family to Hawaii to enjoy the sun, the Pacific and to see Volcanoes and pineapple farms!!! I’ve never been and think it’d be wonderful ❤️
I would love to spend time in Hawaii.
Oh, this is a tough one. I’m going to go with Switzerland because of magnificent view of the Swiss alps and chocolate.
I would love to vacation in Alaska with my whole family
Scotland – would love to see the country
We are doing Disney with the family but I would love to rent a big beach house in the Outer Banks!
I am not big on traveling outside the country, because I don’t fly well. However, I would love to have a snowy Christmas in Aspen, Colorado or Whistler, Canada. Snow+Christmas Lights+Lit Fireplaces= happy me!
A vacation to Hawaii sounds good
New York! I want to see the Tree, go Ice Skating, and take in everything that is New York City during the holiday!
Australia is a place I’ve wanted to visit!!
I agree with the private island! something warmer then the -5* here!
I would like to go to Fiji or the Maldives, the water there is so beautiful.
Scotland or Hawaii but my family doesn’t really travel so don’t expect that would ever happen
I think we all would enjoy Australia.
Mackinac Island or somewhere that does a lot of lights!
To a beach that’s got white sand and blue skies. My peace on earth 🌎
I’d love to go to Ireland one day with my family. Due to my agoraphobia that won’t happen anytime soon but it’s a dream.
I would take my family to Japan to visit my brother since he is the one who always comes here at Christmas.
Hawaii
Hands down it would be Greece. I have family over there that I have never had the opportunity to meet.
Costa Rica fo sho!!!
I’d take my friend group (my truest family) to Paris for the next Summer Olympics; one of them is originally from France, and he and his wife will be celebrating their 20 anniversary that summer as well <3
Just me and my mom maybe Disney world! Happy Holidays 🙂
I would take everyone to London. There are so many places to see and my mother loves royalty so she would love to see all the castles. There are plenty of museums and theaters to visit? London is my favorite place and I’d love the chance to show everyone.
I would love a white Christmas in either Arkansas, Canada or Tennessee.
Florida Keys. Love it there, except during hurricane season, obviously.
I feel like Iceland would be so cool to visit. Would love to visit.
I would go to Australia. Weather is opposite of Midwest and there is so much to see and do there.
I have to have cold and snow for Christmas and lots of lights, so I’d have to find someplace like that.
Germany. I’d like to travel around and visit the different Christmas market’s in Nuremberg, Cologne and other places around Germany.
I would start on the west coast of Italy and eat my way up towards Tuscany and end in Florence.
I’d take the whole family to Hawaii.
Well, if I HAVE to take my family, it would be somewhere warm, since we live in one of the coldest states (ND.) No idea where exactly. None of us are bathing suit people, so beaches probably wouldn’t be as big a hit as say, Disneyworld. 😀 If it were my personal choice of destination, that would be London. The family would probably go along with that as well, since there’s so much to see and do there, if they could get past the 8 hour flight. lol
An island in the carribean….. warm weather, pretty beaches, hiking!
Aruba…been there twice and i fell in love with the place..would love to take my entire family there
We would head to New Zealand to visit my niece and her husband and all enjoy a warm Christmas for a change.
I’m an outside the box person and like to see different things so I would go to Scotland
I would take the family to Ice Land. It’s on my bucket list.
I would love to go to Greece and see all the artifacts
Amsterdam, Netherlands, Dublin, Ireland, Zurich Switzerland , Edinburg Scotland, and Munich Germany. They have some of the best places and history for Christmas. I have several Aunts and Uncles who have informed me of these places
I would go to Norway to see the Northern lights. It’s been on my bucket list for most of my life.
I would go on a European tour throughout several countries. My top choices would be Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Greece.
Caribbean
I would take them to Bali or Ireland. Thanks for the chance!❤️
Somewhere that has lots of snow. I’d like to see Leavenworth, WA because it looks like they go all out to decorate the town at Christmas.
I would rent a little villa in Santorini overlooking the ocean.
If I could take my family anywhere for Christmas it would definitely have to be New York. I would love to see the big apple all lit up for Christmas
If I could go anywhere for the Holidays I’d go to the Maldives. I’d love to take our family to enjoy the sunshine and water!!
I would take us all back to where we grew up and recreate those Christmas’. My favorite memories. Although that’s my dream. I’m sure it’s not theirs.
I think I would take my two girls, spouses, and grand girls to the Grand Canyon. Griswald Style 😂 no seriously, just fly out and see the beautiful views of the west and take a train ride. 😌
Alaska! Or anywhere cold and snowy to experience a full on white Christmas (and because I just love the cold and snow!)
I would definitely to Italy or the southern France
I would take my family to Italy. I would love to see the architecture and eat my way through the country. 😋
Italy.. I so badly want to go there and see all of the history
I would love a luxury cabin with an indoor pool in upper Michigan or the UP where we could enjoy family time, but still enjoy the surrounding nature with an evening campfire.
Pensacola, Fl
I would love to go to a cabin in The Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.
I would go to the North Pole. I would love to see some actual cold weather as I live in the south.
Hawaii
I would love to take my Family to Italy especially Rome
An isolated cabin in a very snowy place with lots of firewood and food!
I would take them to Disney World. My grandsons are 6 and 9 and my granddaughter is 16 months old so that is pretty much what they would want to do. My son and his wife love Disneyland and none of us has ever been to Disney World. Not too earth-shattering but very family friendly.
I would like to go to Vermont to have snow for Winter Solstice. We don’t get much if any snow in Pennsylvania in December and I would like a snowy holiday. I would need to bring my 3 dachshunds and their warm sweaters.
I would take my boyfriend and aunt to Hawaii. We’ve never been there before and I love the ocean and warm weather.
I would take all of them to Texas! Only because it was one of the best trips I have ever taken!
I would love to go to a tropical island somewhere with my family as well
I would vacation with my family (in the summer) on Cape Cod. MA.
Since I have little ones I would like a VIP Disney Cruise.
Hawaii has always been on my bucket list!!
My choice is Fiji. I’ve had Fiji on my mind for years. I can’t believe that you chose the same place.
As tempting as a beach location would be, because I’ve never been… I would choose scenic snowy Colorado mountains in a cozy chalet. Maybe like that scene in Ford’s book. 😉 Plus my family loved our trip to Colorado Springs and we’ve talked about it for years. (BTW we only live in Kansas so it’snot even that far to travel.)
Anywhere I can show my son the Aurora Borealis
My favorite place to go is Costa Rica – I’ve actually been ther 6 times in the past few years. I hope to retire there in about 10 years. But one place is like to go is Hawaii. I love tropical places and have never been to Hawaii!
I would go back to Turkey. There is so much more I still have to see there.
To New Zealand – going on a great adventure to visit the Hobbits.
I would love to go to Ireland with the entire crew. It would be so much fun exploring castle ruins, and pubs!
I would go to Scotland. I’ve always wanted to go there. Thank you for the chance ❤
Santorini, Greece would be lovely for my family!
I would go to New Zealand
My family (my parents and maternal grandparents) and I used to go to Vegas every year. I was just a little girl, but those trips meant so much to me. Those trips continued after my grandmother passed away and then after my grandfather passed away. When it came time to marry my real life age gap romance hero, I chose to plan and have a small family gathering with a wedding at the Little Church of the West. My husband had thought that getting married in Vegas could just be accomplished with a trip out with our local Moose lodge and we could tie the knot in jeans. How wrong he was!
I am an only child who had never been married. I was 30 years old. He had been married once and divorced so even though I wanted something different than his previous wedding I and my mom wanted a traditional wedding ceremony. My father and I are introverts and really didn’t want a huge group of people to entertain in my hometown and Tom isn’t from my hometown and liked leaving it up to me. So my nom and I planned a traditional wedding and my parents loaded up their car transporting everything we needed out to Vegas! Tom and I and his parents, son, and sister flew to Las Vegas where my aunt, uncle, and cousin flew in to join us. We had a group luncheon for everyone to meet and receive a goodies bag of chocolate, champagne, a roll of quarters, and other cute little items with “Tom and Molly”and our wedding date.
Then the next day we got married, had a celebratory luncheon, and later that night went to Siegfried and Roy which we all enjoyed. Then the following days were unscheduled but enjoyed until guests started flying back home.
In a way I’ve already had the great trip with my family that you asked about in your question. If I could have another one in the future I’d once again pick Vegas! My parents health and my injury have kept us from going to Vegas and we really miss it! If I could take my parents, my husband and I anywhere I’d take us back to Vegas for one last trip. We’re all getting old and I’m afraid we’ll never make it again. It’s sad because none of us knew our last time was our last time. If we’re ever able to go again we’ll know we’re experiencing it for the last time. I’m glad we had that big trip with all our closest family. It was extremely special for all of us!
Thank you for the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways. I appreciate your generosity and the excitement they bring into our lives. God bless.
I’ve always wanted to go to Paris and Italy. Thanks for the chance
In order to get everyone together, and happy, it would need to be somewhere warm, preferably the beach. I like your idea of Fiji. Bora Bora would be good too. lol
If I could go anywhere in the world with my family It would be Nashville Tennessee to enjoy the snow in a cabin on or around the Smokey mountains
I’ve always wanted to go to Leavenworth Wa with the kids and grandkids!!!
Italy is my number one choice. Not the big tourist spots, rather the small obscure towns.
Germany!! I grew up an Army-Brat and my fondest Christmas memories were of our time in Germany, so I’d want to take my son there & have him experience an OG Christmas as I have (it’s called “Weihnachten” in Germany and it’s akin to Christmas Eve).
Living in the northeast I get plenty of snow so I would take my family to Jamaica. I got married in Jamaica and fell in love with it. My family loves it too and they are crazy as hell. We would have a ball 😆
Ireland to see my family I haven’t seen physically in years !!
I would love to have a family vacation in the Bahamas.
I would love to take everyone to Hawaii, we were married on the island of Kauai and will be celebrating 20 years next year.
I’d love to spend a vacation in Germany. I noticed someone else mentioned being an Army brat, spending Christmas there, and it’s the same here!
I would love to go to Yorkshire County England ( UK) for a traditional British Christmas!
I would bring everyone to my neck of the woods with a large oceanfront house on Hilton Head Island, SC. May or September would be the best time of year – great beach, history nearby in Savannah, Beaufort, and Charleston. Great lowcountry food.
I would pay for my whole family to spend the holidays in italy
I would love to go to Australia for the holidays somewhere warm away from these minus tempreture we have in the UK at the moment.
It would be something different from the traditional cold Christmas.
Thankyou so much for the chance.
I would stay in the states and visit Nashville TN and go to Dollywood for Christmas with my family.
I was born and reared in California and went to the beach a lot, being only about 45 miles from the beach. So I would choose Paris and or Italy because they seem like romantic places with beautiful historical buildings that I’ve read about in many books and seen in movies. Plus the food has to be amazing and I love great food with my vacation!😋
The Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu, the island of Oahu. Hands down, my favorite place on earth. As much or as little to do as your heart desires!! Merry Christmas, Julie, and have a safe, restful and stress-free holiday season!!!
Bora Bora
Thanks for the chance!
A cabin in the mountains of Montana.
selfishly, I would choose to spend the holiday in London, but my family would rather spend the holiday in Hawaii or any island.
Ireland
Australia
Definitely a beachy Christmas in Jamaica
I would go to Ireland where my Dad was born. I have never been and I would love to see his home in Belfast.
I would loooove to take my family to Paris. I’ve never been beyond the east coast of the US, so it’s a dream of mine ❤️
I like to go to europe
Catalina Island
I would like to have my entire extended family all together in a snowy mountain villa with big fireplaces and plenty of outdoor activities and indoor Christmas activities too. Banff maybe? Just so we could all spend some quality time together. I live by myself in Florida and my family is scattered all over the US, and we so rarely all get to see each other. We used to have the best family get togethers and reunions.
MALDIVES
Island hopping in the Florida Keys
I would love to take my family to Portugal for a vacation!
I spent 6 weeks there a number of years ago. I love Lisbon and spent a wonderful time in the Algarve: the people the food the wine and the beaches……..❤️
Hawaii
I would go to New Zealand with my family.
I would love to go to Australia since they’re having summer right now. The scenery is gorgeous with LOTS of handsome men and their drool-worthy accents. With presents like this…Merry Christmas to me!
We’re big fans of Disneyland, but we’ve never been to DisneyWorld, so I’d take them there. It’s the one place we could all agree on, lol
Somewhere in the mountains with a beautifulview and curvy roads for riding our motorcycles.
If I could chose anywhere to go with my family, I would love to go to an all inclusive tropical resort that has the huts over the water!
We would vacation with my family anywhere warm with a nice blue ocean view and as long as we all together.
To a warm island somewhere or on a cruise to somewhere warm. Thanks for the chance!
Honestly the where isn’t as important if we could all be together. My family is spread out across 3 provinces in Canada and Switzerland. So getting us all together would be more important.
That being said I would probably choose the Canadian Rockies where I live or the Swiss Alps where my brother lives. You gotta have snow at Christmas!
Since I have big split in age at my house, I would probably say Ireland by way of Disneyland and MT/WY🤣
Hawaii
Hmm, if I look at this as my house, it’s just me, so I’d go to Ireland. Actually, I’d do that trip with my Dad. It would make him so happy. Or if we did the my father and my siblings and their families, I’d say we should take a road trip across the entire country in two RVs because there would be eight of us, and from experience I know five of us used to be pushing it in one. 😉
My son and his wife deployed to Japan for three years at the beginning of September. I think that Japan is further than any of our pockets can manage, so a trip to Japan, starting in Okinawa (where they are posted) and ending 1,000 miles north in Toyko.
M family would love to go to mountain to do Christmas in a cabin.
I would take them to Australia and/or US.
I would take my whole family to New York to see the tree
I think England because I have family there and we could branch from there to other places in Europe.
A cozy chalet in the Rockies. The kids could ski and snowmobile while us old folks set in front of a warm fire with warm drinks.
I would love to go to Italy.
Home.
The Bahamas! Tired of this cold weather!
Nowhere too far cos my folks are seniors, but it’ll be nice to have a quick holiday with the fam at a mountain or beach resort. Just anywhere nice really. 🙂
I would love to go somewhere warm and with a beach. I don’t want a typical tourist type of holiday vacation, but something light and fun. I know we all love the beach, so if I had to pick, Jamaica. That seems like a place to get away and have fun.
The Seychelles – definitely need me some family time in the ☀️☀️☀️🏖️!
I would love to take us all to our special place. There’s an island in the UK called Lindisfarne and it holds a very large part of our heart. My dad spent his 18th birthday there building a lookout, before he met my mum, and his heart was always there. We scattered his ashes there after he passed away. It’s the most peaceful place, and is cut off from the mainland twice a day – that’s when the tourists leave and that makes it even more special. Thanks for the opportunity of winning this series Julie xx
I would love to take my family skiing in Banff, Alberta Canada for the holidays. I used to go as a child with my family there in the summers but think it would be gorgeous in the winter.
Hawaii. We went for a wedding anniversary and I would love to take the kids and grandson.
Denver, Colorado in a beautiful chalet with a high Christmas tree with all my daughters and grandkiddoes. A wonderful time full of love and peace.
I adore the warm climates too, but if I could take my family anywhere it would be Scotland.
I’d take them to Colorado in the mountains at a cabin.
I would go to my friends eco village in South America. We live off grid full time in north Idaho.
Paris
I spent my childhood (Til age 10 at least) In Germany. I’d LOVE to take my daughter to see a Christmas Market where I grew up. The cobblestone roads, historic buildings, smell of Gluhwein and wurst in the air. Stall after stall after stall of gorgeous items. Twinkling lights everywhere. It was my favourite part of Christmas as a kid and I haven’t found anything similar anywhere else I’ve lived.
I’d take my family to Scotland and stop in Iceland on the way home.
England, we have close friends there we haven’t seen for a long time. We could all spend the holiday with them too.
I would love to take them to Lapland over Christmas to visit Santa and see the reindeer
Greece, its simply beautiful
I don’t really like to travel during Christmas, but if I did I’d like to go to Australia
France
Maui!!! Been to Hawaii once and it is magical. Never to Maui though! They would love it!
Although the snow here in Alberta is awesome for Christmas, I would love to go some place warm! Hawaii, Bali, Australia…..
I would love to go on a cruise all around the world so we can see all the different cultures and then figure out which place we all loved then keep going back there.
I would love to go to Australia – I have uncles and aunts and cousins there I have never met!
I would love to rent a big beach house in Duck, NC. My family would love it.
Start in London then into Scotland. A slow meandering journey would be wonderful.
I would take them to Nova Scotia to be with the rest of the family. It’s about time the big kids met their cousins again. It’s been a few years.
I would vacation in Hawaii!!! My family loves the beach and we’ve never been there as a family. It may not feel like Christmas without snow, but we would enjoy the weather for sure!
I would love to take my family to Italy. There are so many amazing place I’d love to see and having the family with me would be perfect!
I would prefer to all converge to our original family home
Italy! I lived there for 4 years in my early 20’s. There’s no place like it and I would love to share it with my family!
Jamaica please! I’ve never been to a warm beach and Jamaica sound slime heaven ☺
I would go see the northern lights.
It would be Germany, Iceland or Ireland. I would love to see and bring my son to see the old castles!!!
Hawaii for sure
Hawaii or Figi
Mediterranean Cruise through Italy, Turkey and Greece.
New York would be fun for the holidays
Hawaii
I would take everyone to Bora Bora then on a trip to other places in the southern hemisphere. I’ve never been to the other side of the world so I’d have to do it up right!
I would love to take my herd to the Yellowstone
Where else but Luckenbach, Texas!
Anywhere as long as family is there!
My first choice is anywhere warm like Hawaii or Jamaica. But my heritage is mostly Italian and Scottish, so I’d love to go there and meet my extended families.
Breckenridge, CO. My favorite place in the world!
We would go to the Virgin Islands and sip on some pain killers and soak up the sun.
I would choose Ireland.
New Zealand
I would love to go to England, Scotland and Ireland
I just returned from 10 days in Israel on a women’s trip. I would love to go back with my family
To visit my sister and her family in the US
I think I’d like to take all of them to Ireland as we have ancestors there!
I love the idea of Austria because of the quaint Christmas villages, but realistically I HATE cold weather! So my family may be next to you on a hot and sunny beach in Fiji!
I’ve always wanted to visit Paris. I think it would be wonderful at Christmas with my family.
I need snow during the winter holidays so it would have anywhere with snowy mountains, a hot tub and a killer view. Maybe Colorado? 😉
I want to say Ireland but my heart is saying a cabin in the middle of nowhere out of phone reception with a pond to ice fish on
My choice would be Banff, Alberta.
Italy!!!
Happy Holidays 🎄🎁
IF YOU COULD VACATION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? – ALASKA I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE
I kinda want to go somewhere tropical, but I hate being hot. So maybe somewhere like Scotland, so I can be with my kind. I’m a ginger and my husband is Hispanic, so while my kids have reddish streaks in their hair and a fairer complexion, I see no gingers on a day to day basis. I don’t see a lot in the wild in my town, so going to the country with the highest ginger population sounds nice. And I also heard it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Costa Rica
The beaches on the East Coast
I would take my family to Aruba
I would go the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai.
I would love to say Scotland but my mom won’t fly and I can’t imagine my autistic son on a plane either so let’s say a big cabin in the Smokey mountains. Somewhere where the holidays are cold.
And a quick thank you for this series. These are the first books of yours I found which lead me to read all of your series(multiple times).
I would love to go to Europe and visit the different Christmas markets.
Australia
I d take my whole family on a cruise to a tropical location!
Windjammer Landing in St. Lucia – with our adult kids – 28 years after our honeymoon there!
May be a cliche but Disney in Florida
I’d rush off to Australia to visit family with my family.
Iceland! Bucket list to see the Northern Lights!
I would love to visit Grindelwald Switzerland. It looks so beautiful and Switzerland is definitely on my bucket list.
I would love to go to Scotland / Ireland on the Outland tour!!
Australia. Explore the down under during their summer.
I would love to take my family to New Zealand !
Ahh definitely Five and Rory’s island! Lol serious answer – Colorado, a cabin in the snow in the mountains. 🙂
Hawaii- my husband and I have spent the holidays there before but my kids have never been & would love to go.
Probably back to Eastern Canada to visit family
Italy. My whole family would love to go there and have never been.
Highlands of Scotland, Alaska and the Grand Canyon. All for diff reasons but all are wide open lands that are beautiful.
I would go to Scotland/Ireland. I missed my chance a few years ago and the pictures from family that went were incredible.
New Zealand
If I could go anywhere I’d go to visit my mom and dad in Pennsylvania. I’d love to give my daughter the Christmas I used to have growing up.
I would go to Australia as my husband as been wanting to go there for years. Or Hawaii, if my mother was still alive as she loved Hawaii and Alaska (to cold there now).
I want to go visit my Aunt up North. I live in the south and it feels like she’s really feeling my need for her right now due to a couple of surgeries one an emergency one and I’m depending on my 17 year old son for everything right now.
I would take my family to Greece. It’s on my bucket list.
Australia
I’d take my family to Switzerland, to show them where I was born. It’s so beautiful.
Ireland I have always wanted to go, and to take my whole family would be amazing❤️
I have always wanted to go to Greece! It looks like an amazing place! Somewhere you can do some sightseeing and then spend time just swimming and relaxing in the sun! Thanks for the chance!
I would take my family to Ireland
I would go to Scotland
I would get a chalet in Banff and see the Rocky Mountains.
Dublin Ireland id want to tour the trinity library and just see ireland all around with my family
i would love to take my family to disneyland
I’d love to go to Greece
I would go to Ireland for the holidays.
Either South Korea, Malaysia or Singapore. Cheap treats, good eats.
If I could take my whole family anywhere, it would be to Greece and Rome. It’s somewhere we have always wanted to go!
Italy. I’ve always wanted to go there and now my daughter dreams of going there as well.
TBH – Anywhere. We haven’t had a vacation in such a long time. Worked too hard and got burnt out this year and decided to do a career change. Something that was positive for me and my family. With this change, I lose all of the vacation days I had from my previous job. 🙁 Just living vicariously through social media users and enjoying vacation photos. Hopefully, we’ll go someplace fun next year. *fingers crossed*
Does it have to be for the holidays? If so, then a big, fully stocked but rustic (hah) lodge with skiing and ice skating (on a pond!), but also with a big fireplace and hot tub to warm up afterwards. There would need to be plenty of rooms because I have a lot of married siblings with families and we’d of course all need to be there together 🙂 (The loving drama would be as delicious as our cooking and the cousins all together would be awesome)
My ultimate dream vacation is Ireland. I can’t tell you why, but if I could go anywhere in the world during the holiday season I would choose Ireland.
Greece! I spent a few there as a teenager and I want my kids and husband to experience it! Beautiful country and, let’s face it, bikini weather on the beach instead of layers for snow.
I have always wanted to go to Greece. To have my family with me to experience this historical place, along with the beauty and food would be fabulous. Oh someday!!!!
Anywhere where there is snow and a place where we can relax and enjoy it.
Christmas holidays would be some beautiful chalet in the alps!
i would love to see Hawaii or Australia
Scotland!
I don’t have a specific place in mind, just someplace with lots of snow and fun snow day activities all day then games all night in front of a fire!
I would take my small family to the Harry Potter theme world.
I’d love this some place easy for travel. Would love HI, or Australia 🎄
I would love to enjoy the beaches of Tahiti wiht the family
Australia
St. Lucia
I love to see Greece!
I would take my family to Germany. A white Christmas, Christmas markets and a cosy fireplace!
The holidays in a different country is so fun! I think we all prefer warm. Snow is fun to visit too. My 2 picks are Switzerland or Italy or Greek Islands. Final answer!
I would love to visit Croatia with my family. They’ve visited it a few times and love it there.
Melbourne, Australia 😎
I’ve always wanted to go to New York. I bet the decorations look beautiful there.
I would love to go to Scotland and roam the countryside.
I’d rent a Schloss in Austria and do a whole Sound of Music thing and visit those amazing Christmas markets
Scotland without question. It is on my bucket list for sure.
hawaii
I would go on a European cruise so I can stop a lot of countries: Italy, France, Greece, Germany… I want to see them all!!!!
Europe for sure
If we could all vacation together for the holidays we would go to Hawaii. It’s the one place we’ve all never been.
I would love to take my family to Hawaii to soak up some sun and waves.
I would bring my family to Hawaii. I’ve never been there and everyone who’s gone says it’s a beautiful place with great weather. I read James Michner’s Hawaii and remember a teen child of a couple who came on a tightly packed boat figuring how often they had sex with others close by because a number of the women were pregnant when they arrived.
I would spend the holidays in Goa. I love Indian food and Christmas is very unique in that region. They make many tasty foods and desserts to celebrate.
I’d love to say somewhere tropical and warm because well any other time of year that’s what I’d choose. And Egypt to stand under the Sphinx is my ultimate bucket list but… I love snow for Christmas. We live in the north so most years I get my wish and have snow for Christmas Eve. But I’d love to spend it in the mountains in a cabin with a fireplace. That cozy perfect Mountain Christmas! Thank you so much for this amazing chance! You’re a very special author to your readers ❤️🎄📚
Probably Bonaire, because they have amazing scuba diving there!
I’d love to visit Hawaii. I admit to falling in love with all the gorgeous scenery from the tv show Hawaii 5-O.
I live in SoCal and have always wanted to have a “white christmas”. Cozying up by a fireplace, sipping on hot cocoa like in the Last Christmas music video 🙂
I love to visit Paris
Definitely somewhere tropical. Love the sun and sand.
IF YOU COULD VACATION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
Definitely somewhere tropical!!!
I would like to go to Bethlehem for the Christmas holidays
My husband chose Gatlinburg last Christmas and I think I would want to go to Hawaii. It is on my bucket list, so anytime of the year would work for a vacation there but Christmas sounds like a great time to go. I live in Ohio, The weather sucks around the Holidays.
I would take them all to the carrabean for a long holiday, to see all the water and animals !!
I feel like Greece would be amazing
Somewhere with really good hockey. Like we could go watch some, play some and enjoy cuddling afterwards.
My family had always wanted to go to Spain and Europe so it would be an amazing Christmas to spend it together traveling to these places!
This is a good question! I think i would want to be up in a ski lodge in Colorado with all my family,
I would take my family to Ireland to visit castles.
It is a toss up between Ireland and Scotland. Maybe we could do both. But anywhere is good as long as my family is with me.
Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland to see all the beautiful places. We would get to try some amazing and interesting food too.
I would love to see Ireland at Christmas time! We are going in May for my son’s high school graduation. Thank you for the chance!
Somewhere tropical! Bali, Fiji, or Greece. Thank you for the chance!
Hawaii or Costa Rica with my kids
My holiday dreams is to do the world tour with my loved ones, you know like the one where you go to every place in the world and see the best and also the worst, so you can appreciate what is really important in life!
If it was a trip for the holidays, I would choose somewhere tropical. The Caribbean? Sandy beaches and warm weather! My mom hates the cold lol.
Somewhere that celebrates Christmas, a place straight out of a Christmas movie.
My first choice would be Ireland.
I think I would love to go to Ireland to celebrate!
We have ancestry in Scotland so I would love to visit Scotland & Ireland.
I would love to visit Hawaii, for the first time with my family during the holidays.
I would like to do a t week cruise. The destination doesn’t even matter. Just having my whole family together would be the ultimate joy. My kids are all spread out… Texas, Florida, South Dakota, California and the UK. If we could all be together, it wouldn’t matter where.
I would definitely go the tropical route, too. Maybe South Pacific – somewhere like Tahiti or Bora Bora.
My teenager would complain no matter where we went, so if we wanted a “good” vacation, we’d just stay home 🤣
I would love to go to Greece for the holidays. My book bestie lives there and every time she posts pictures I fall more in love with the stunning landscape and architecture.
I would love to take my family to Ireland for Christmas where we can explore our roots. Thanks for the chance!
I would love to take my family to Hawaii! My good parents would go every Christmas. They both have passed away, and I would love to go and see the places they saw every time they went.
I think somewhere in Colorado. It’s always pretty this time of year and skiing would be amazing. Probably steamboat springs, always hood memories there.
Belize, specifically Ambergris Caye
Bethlehem would be amazing to spend. Christmas in I think
England would be amazing – they take Christmas VERY seriously.
Someplace tropical. I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii but if I can get my passport together I’d love to go to Bali.
I would go to Fiji! I have always wanted to go and I hate the cold so it would be perfect this time of year!
A snowy mountain retreat.
I would love to go to St. Regis Bora Bora. I saw this in the movie Couples Retreat and it looks like an awesome relaxing place to visit.
Of course to the most magical place on earth, Disney World. It won’t be relaxing but it’ll be fun for the whole family.
Prague! They do some really cool Christmas celebrations and it would be amazing to be there for them one year.
Italy!!
New York or Veracruz were my mom is from
As long as I didn’t have to drive I would like to go somewhere with snow. Christmas lights are so much better reflecting off it. Or maybe somewhere old world like Ireland
I love anywhere with snow..so Colorado or something like that
I’d go to Austria and visit the Christmas markets in Vienna, Innsbruck, and Salzburg. Then I’d take a plane to the Maldives or the Seychelles and relax on the beach for a few days before heading home!
I would love to spend Christmas on a beach drinking tropical fruity drinks! Sun and sand!
Since I live by the beach, I would love to go to the mountains for vacation.
I am really not much of a traveler so I prefer a staycation.
A nice private beach, where we can unwind and just be
It’s a toss up between options…
1. Somewhere with snow to have your first white Christmas. (We live in Africa, so have never experienced snow). My kids would love snow!
2. Somewhere on a beach… More traditional for us.
This is a difficult choice for me – I’d love to take everyone to Germany and spend the holidays with my half sister. We didnt know of each other growing up, but connected in our 40’s. So we have a lot of lost time.
I would love to spend the holidays in London. One of my dad’s favorite memories was spending Christmas in London when he was younger. He cherished his time there and always wanted to take us so we could experience the same but he never had the chance to. Thank you for taking the time to do this wonderful giveaway! Wishing you a fantastic and successful holiday season!
I think Hawaii would be fabulous.
I would love to spend time in Alaska with my family to see the northern lights and travel around and explore! To see what will not be there one day!
Switzerland, thank you for the chance
The Maldives, dream vacation
If I could vacation anywhere with my entire family, because my husband will not leave the US because he states there is too much to see here yet, I would say I want to take my family to Hawaii and visit all the islands. I think that would be amazing.
Hawaii, Greece, Italy, England, Ireland and Scotland. We’re going everywhere we can.
I think I would take everyone to Ireland!
I would love to spend the holidays with my family at Emerald Isle, NC or at Niagara Falls.
Iceland. Such an amazing country and the people are too.
The Seychelles as my grandad was stationed there during WW11 and always wanted to go back in peace time but never did
I would love to go to Ireland!!
Some place warm…The Hawaiian Islands….
Thank you !
Australia
Bali
Visit Disney World followed by a Disney Cruise.
With the whole family-it would have to be somewhere with snow. The grandchildren would love it!
I would love to take my family to Ireland, Scotland, and Paris.
Hawaii
Would love to see the Northern Lights with the kids and I think the Christmas holiday would make seeing them all the more special.
I don’t have a specific place, but it would for sure be somewhere none of us have been before. Maybe Norway, Ireland, Australia.
It honestly wouldn’t matter where, but just that we would all be together. We haven’t all been together for Christmas for a very long time.
I don’t have a specific location but if money wasn’t an option I’d take them to a private island with a golden sandy beach and a lagoon with a waterfall if such a place exists.
Bora Bora because that’s my sister’s dream and if she’s happy every one is happy! 😀
I’d take my family to Australia!
England
Somewhere warm and with a beach. We need a holiday break from snow lol
Spain and Balearic Islands!
One of those small, beautiful, snowy picture-perfect towns that just look magical.
Australia
My sister just moved to the Denver area. I moved away from snow and winter 16 years ago but I think I’d like to spend Christmas with her and do the whole winter thing again, just for a couple days.
So, Vietnam is my bucket list travel destination. My family wouldn’t necessarily love it. But maybe I could set them up with a retreat on the beach while I took day trips to the cities to eat street food.
Ireland. I love the accent and could sit in a pub listening to the people. 2nd choice is Australia.
Hawaii
I have always wanted to go to Scotland or New Zealand. I think my family just wants to go anywhere away from home lol
Bora bora and stay is a hut out in the ocean!
Australia would be a dream come true!
To the pink sand of Bermuda.
Hands down Italy to the villages of my great grandparents and probably some touristy areas.
I would love to see and experience Ireland!
Australia!!! I’ve always wanted to visit there.
Well, I have a 5 year old nephew and 10 year old niece, so Disneyworld, but we’d stay in a really nice place on the property!
I would love to take my whole family (8 grandchildren) to Disney World.
My Christmas spot out of anywhere in the world would be having the whole family here at home. Our farm nestled in a cove surrounded by mountains with the horses and wildlife means love and peace and happy to me.
I would love to visit Brisbane, Australia! I’d hope my whole family would feel the same.
Any beach would be great.
Somewhere warm from Wisconsin, but if really had to choose would love to go to Germany and learn about my heritage.
I’ve done a lot of traveling, and would love to see Fiji, the Cook Islands, maybe Bali. Tropical sounds so good! Been to Hawaii many times including living on a sailboat, and I’ve spent months in Europe, as well as every state but Alaska. The Cook Islands are where Moreton Bay Fig Trees are from, and I’d love to stay in a treehouse…or one of those over-water bungalows in Fiji.
I would go to Hawaii.
A hut on the water in Tahiti
Jamaica
Bora Bora i have always wanted to vacation there!
Somewhere warm
Somewhere tropical, private and relaxing
I would take our entire blended family to some snowy lodge where we could spend quality time with all our children and grandchildren.
I would go to one of the European Disney locations because Disney is the happiest place on earth and if you have your whole family together you’re going to need a little Disney magic 🎩 ✨ We’d also be able to go sightseeing and shopping as well as exploring.
Hawaii
I would take my fam to South Korea (where my mother is from) to learn about the culture and history.
Dubai!!!
Ireland! My mom’s parents were from there & she hasn’t been back since she was 15. It would be amazing to be there with my parents, sisters & their families ❤️
Definitely Italy.
Italy! My grandma came from there and I’ve always wanted to go there. I think it’s beautiful too.
Some place warm with my family
Hawaii, the Caribbean, Europe. A cruise. Disneyland. Maybe, travel all over to see family we haven’t seen for years.
The Greek isles.
I would love to travel to England/Ireland and Scotland. It would be such a magical experience
I would take the tour of Italy that Covid ruined.
I would want to go to New Zealand or Australia I think
But there are so many places I want to see
I guess it is normal to want what you don’t have and so since many great beaches are a short drive away I would choose to spend time with my family in a beautiful cabin in the mountains with a hot tub and game room.
Ireland
Somewhere warm for sure. We live up in the frozen tundra that is Canada in the winter and I would love to spend the colder weather somewhere warm enough that I don’t feel like a crippled old woman at 41 every day until spring time again. Lol 🎄
We were blessed to live one of those dream Christmas getaways last year by spending it in Hawaii. I’m feeling very nostalgic for it right now! Lol! My next dream would be Scotland or Ireland
I’d go to Scotland!
My kids have never been to Disneyland – but I think I would rather take them for Halloween! So for the holidays it would have to be New York City – there’s a million places I want to travel to, but not over the holidays. I’d actually prefer to stay home and not have to work for the month of December over traveling for the holidays.
Washington D.C or Oahu I have family there I miss
Somewhere tropical where there’s a pristine sandy beach and clear ocean water. Snorkeling close by. Waterfalls too!
I want to go to New Zealand. Beautiful place.
Thanks for the contest.
I would take to to Indiana. My dad has cancer, and his doctor doesn’t want him around a bunch of people. We lost my mom in June and this will be the first Christmas without her, and now not able to see my dad. Uh not really Christmas.
Honolulu would be my choice…
It my dream (and also my mom’s) to see Scotland. So I would go there, or maybe to Greece.
I would love to visit Ireland and Scotland!
I would love to do a Euro trip. I want to go to England to see the country my husband is from and I would like to go back to Germany so my husband & daughter can meet the rest of my family.
I’d love to visit Scotland and Wales.
Oh my gosh Julie, I immediately thought Fiji when I read your question and then I scrolled down to see that, you would also take your family to Fiji 🏝️☀️🌊
I’ve never been to Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, etc but I would absolutely love to visit
This is the series that Amazon KU had recommended JA Huss Turning Point for me to read and how I found out about all of your books, because after reading TP I fell down a rabbit hole of the Huss world and couldn’t stop reading all of your books 📚 🎉🤓
Again any prize that I may win I would gift away any duplicates ♥️
I would love to take a whole family trip to Walt Disney World. I’m talking my husband, our kids, their kids, our siblings, their families, etc.
A private tropical island!
Seychelles Island. I’ve never been but desperately want to and would love to take the family!
Thanks for the chance!
Following!
I like the private island idea a lot, with clear waters and warm sand.
An old castle in a small town in Scotland, Finland, Denmark or any other small country in Northern Europe. Where the decorations are already up and we all just sit around huge fires in our flannel looking at the snow outside and no Wifi or internet reception. Board Games, Prime Rib, Wine and Love…
Italy would be wonderful! Just to be able to show them something so different than what we have at home with it’s rich history, architecture, museums and of course the food we love pasta and wine for the grown ups 🍷🍝📚
We would go to Germany to visit the Christmas markets.
While I’ve been very fortunate to travel all over the world because of my job and then my husband’s job, I’ve never been to Egypt which was the first country I wanted to visit. My dad loved Egyptology. I learned to read at the tender age of three and my dad gave me a book about the pyramids and I fell in love with their history. I became a bit obsessed about Egyptian History in my teens. I’ve booked a trip twice but for one reason or another I’ve had to cancel so if I could I would take my whole family there. Half of my family shared my interest in Egyptian History. Bucket List.
Prague
Either Hawaii or the Bahamas that is my bucket list to go on with family
Last Christmas we were able to spend the day in the Bahamas while on a 7 day Caribbean cruise and it was AMAZING!!!! Our next bucket list location for Christmas is Banff Canada because it’s the complete opposite of the Caribbean and the pictures we’ve seen are breathtaking.
Rovaniemi, Finland! I love a cold and snowy destination for the holidays.
Scotland!
Hawaii
I would take my entire family to Italy!! That is my absolute dream to go to Italy before I die! I hope I get there💕
Yosemite or Yellowstone – a white christmas for everyone (It’s summer here in NZ) and an amazing photography opportunity for me
I would love to take a trip through Europe.
I’d love to go through Europe and Caribbean.
Italy, I’ve only been there in the summertime and I can only imagine how beautiful it would be during the holidays.
NYC! There is always so much to do there!
Australia and New Zealand have always been the top of my lists. Its just all so different from the US.
Ireland. It would be fun to do a Christmas pub crawl with my whole family.
I would love to visit Maldives sometime! It’s an amazing place 💗
I’ve always wanted to visit Greece. I love Greek mythology, Greek architecture and the whole vibe of it.
