Almost done shopping and wishing for some sun!

Christmas is a week away and all I have left is to get a couple of gift cards for my younger brother and my daycare provider.  This Christmas my family will be going to NY to spend Christmas and my hubby's birthday with his mother and his older sister.  Now, I have family in ND and my hubby is from NY, but not just NY, Buffalo.  At these occasions I wish we were spending thousands of dollars to visit some family in a warm location.  It doesn't have to be Hawaii, but I could settle for California.  What do you all think about spending Christmas on a cruise?  I have been thinking for several years now that a cruise in the Caribbean would be lovely.  No gifts, just the cruise.  Is this wishful thinking?  Does Christmas need to always be about cookies, turkey, ugly sweaters, and fighting with relatives you only see once a year?  I live in MN and with family in cold snowy locations it would be wonderful to get some natural vitamin D the good old fashion way.  I think a little sun, sand, and buffet style dinners would be very relaxing for once.  Let me know if I'm way off here.  Has anyone ever done something like this with family for Christmas?  Until next time...
Blessings!
