Christmas Holidays with a Difference

While everyone has the idea of Christmas as a time for family

, large dinners, drunken uncles and the delight of children's faces when they open their presents on Christmas morning, why not get some inspiration from the ideas below for a different Christmas holiday this year?

From active snow sports to a relaxing cosy getaway, make this Christmas one to remember with the family.

- Snowboarding in Switzerland

One of the best places to experience all manners of winter sports, head down to Switzerland where there are plenty of snow covered hills to slide, ski and skate down. If you're a real adrenalin junkie, don't just stick with the classic skiing, skating and snowboarding, how about cross-country skiing, frozen river trekking and curling? Don't think you have to be loaded to go for a holiday in Switzerland either, there are plenty of budget options too.

- Visit Santa Claus

Every child's dream and a great way to perpetuate the Santa myth, why not take a holiday to Lapland? From elves and 'Rudolphs' to greet you on arrival, you will also get many grottos and even sleigh tours. This will surely set the children wild with excitement and the whole family will be able to immerse themselves in the genuine spirit of Christmas. Being so far north, this is also an excellent opportunity for nature lovers to experience the magical Northern Lights

- Irish Charm

How about a Christmas filled with charm and history? Ireland is a great place to visit at any time of year, but especially when you can getaway wto the narrow Medieval streets in Limerick, step back in time to when the Vikings arrived on the shores and also browse through the picturesque cobbled streets in Dublin.
