When it comes to planning and designing vacations, many people look for inspiration in December when it’s cold outside and everyone seems to be having a great time. As well as being great for getting away from it all, you can also take in some sights during your holidays in New York. The city is a beautiful state in the northeast U.S., better known for its Manhattan Island and towering Niagara Falls. NYC has a long history and is populated with famous people.
If you’re planning a holiday to New York, you can choose from a variety of options. You can find a hotel that offers you packages to travel or you can simply search for public transportation. NYC has a subway system, busses that go downtown and there are even ferry services that will bring visitors close to the island. To the east, Long Island and parts of New Jersey have beautiful beaches as well.
Celebrating Christmas and New Year’s Eve in December can prove to be an expensive affair. It’s best to search for affordable packages before leaving for the holiday. There are a variety of different activities to enjoy while on holidays in December and many places in New York offer guided tours, which are inexpensive. Visiting with a family and spending time together on holidays in December can be fun for everyone, making this a popular holiday among families.
Many people use social media to keep in touch with friends, family and co-workers during the holidays. When they return from their trips they want to share happy memories of the city and the places they visited. To do this they post photos, video clips and online journaling to social media. One of the most popular holidays to celebrate with this tool is social media holidays. This allows co-workers to see pictures of the city and share their thoughts about the holiday.
Hanukkah is another Jewish holiday, which is celebrated with much food, celebration and fun. Menorah, a lamp used as a symbol of God’s presence, is burnt each night before the start of the Jewish day of worship, which is Moshavihash. Many people decorate their home or office with Hanukkah decorations. For example, some hang the Menorah from the door frame, but many people also light candles or hang lanterns on the desk, countertop or mantel. Lights are used to celebrate good health and good luck for the coming year.
Other holidays in December that are considered very Pagan include Saint Valentine’s Day (which is February 14), Crocus Festival, Chastity Day, Candlemas, and Halloween. Each of these holidays has different characteristics that give them their own unique charm. Each of these Pagan holidays has a different reason to celebrate and many people have begun to combine all of the Pagan traditions into one grand holiday celebration.
