4-day trip possibilities in mid-December?

[South Austin 52,636]

Might I suggest any one of DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge, Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too.

I looked at Airbnb's in NYC last December and the cost was outrageous. Settled on Chicago and it didn't disappoint. Chicago rarely does. Fantastic city around the holidays. This was a family trip with two kids, though.

That list is News to me.  Are they good places for Sports?

New Orleans is great in mid December. Don’t do the French quarter do garden district stuff.

Love NOLA in December.  But we've done NOLA, a lot.  If we're going to a city, I think she wants a "new" experience.

I'd love it, but it ain't all about me.

Miami is great in December as well.

But then we'd have to go shopping.  Because I'm the only one of us who owns a South Beach-requisite thong....

Isla Mujeres would check a lot of boxes.  I’ve never been, but I have checked out the thread here a few times.  Chill, eat, and drink.

Detroit.

That's always on one side of the coin I flip -- the other side is Lubbock.

Greyton Beach or 30A is another idea. My favorite time to go is in December. Seaside and Alys are done up nice with lights. 
 

Dining can be hit or miss in off peak though since staff shortages is still a thing and no one can afford to live anywhere nearby.

The reason hotels are expensive at Christmas here is because NYC does Christmas right.

Yup. Taking my kids to the city for Christmas this year. It's absolutely the best time to be in the city.
