A1 #pttravel Yes, a few times. It’s just a fun time to travel such as the trip I took to Germany to see the Xmas Markets.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Used to Disney. Now just hit up gems of the Middle East. Sometimes you gotta take Christmas with you. #Pttravel

A1: Every single year, until 2020. I usually go somewhere warm, to escape the winter. This is Guatemala at Christmas time, a few years ago #pttravel

Every year until 2020 I would usually travel somewhere to escape the cold & dark of December. My last such trip in 2019 was to #Qatar primarily for the football but this incredible desert art installation was pretty special #PTTravel A1

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @OanaRoua It depends. In Japan Christmas isn't a holiday but it is celebrated, for instance, by eating a Christmas cake #PTTravel

A3 #pttravel I don’t think I have a preference. I’ve done summer like New Years in Australia, but I’ve done cold destinations too. For me, it’s more about the experience.

A3 I don't have an ideal way because that seems to change every year. Overall, I like escaping big crowds, busy cities. But sometimes, I feel in the mood. Two years ago, I spent Christmas alone in Japan and prepared some traditional German food for me after work #pttravel

This was Manly beach #Australia on Christmas Day 2016 - for those from the northern climes - sunshine, BBQs and buses operating is not Christmassy #PTTravel A2

Anywhere there is wildlife to be encountered is good with me. Saw plenty of humpback #whales in #NewCaledonia #PTTravel A3

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @RTWBarefoot Isn't Russia quite Christmassy? When I visited in February, Moscow and other places were still heavily decorated #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel I really can’t think of anything. Whatever is going on, I just want to experience the season. Walking around NYC between Xmas and New Years.

Christmas decorations at any time before December brings out the humbug in me. Although I made an exception for this lovely little store in #Rothenburg #Germany in the spring #PTTravel A5
