Hi folks!

For the past however many years, my family, consisting of three adults and a ten year old child, have spent our christmases at home, kind of under siege in our own house. We want to do something different this year beacuse we are all aware of how much we have fallen into the materialistic trap of being surrounded by nice food and videos but, embassassing as it is to admit, actually quite bored. Also the amount of money spent has just increased and increased and Dave and I (as the 'responsible' ones) have both begun to feel sickened by the whole thing.

We have been talking about doing something 'different' this year, for a few days from the 23rd to 28th Dec - or roundabouts.

What we don't want is to go visiting anybody but what we do want is some ideas of something really different - perhaps a short break somehwhere unusual.

The cost has to be fairly reasonable (low if poss).

So, after spending sometime surfing (away from Mudcat - how painful it was!) I suddenly thought that this is the kind of topic that mudcatters might have some interesting ideas on.

Help?
