To cut a long story short, I do not have any good childhood christmas memories. As as an adult I survived Christmas. When my 2 boys were young, I relished in the magic through their eyes. However, now they are 16 & 18 I am back to struggling with just wanting to run away from it all. When my boys were 3 & 4 we lived in Qatar for a couple of years. They were the best Christmas's I have ever had. No family hassle, no huge expectations to be joyful, shops not full of Christmas, christmas, christmas from October. I want others to enjoy, it just I find it so difficult. If I could afford to go to Dubai or such like for Christmas 2023, I would. However this is out of my budget.

Does anybody have any, less expensive, getaways they could recommend.

Thank you

Sorry you're feeling down about Christmas, when you used to enjoy it. It depends what you like. Would renting a cottage in an English village for the period appeal to you? Maybe somewhere near the seaside so you can get out for fresh air? Or some winter sun?

Random one but how about Disneyland Paris? It's open throughout Christmas including Christmas day, and can be enjoyed at any age.
