Fantasy Christmas

Supposing you could go anywhere in the world for Christmas week with the people you love best, on someone else's money (of course)? Where would you go? I asked Rich this question yesterday (and in discussing it found I needed to insert the 'barring wretched excess' caveat because I could see he was thinking wild thoughts, like spending it with Queen Elizabeth at Balmoral on a shooting holiday...he doesn't know how to shoot, but it sounds lots of fun), and he eventually said that he would love a Christmas in the US mountains somewhere in the West, in a log cabin, with a large fireplace and lots of X-C skiing trails. That was one of the places I was thinking of too, but my vote was for Southern Europe, because I'd kind of like to see how they do it in Italy. Or Greece.
