I wish I had thought about spending Christmas & New Years at the beach earlier. I can imagine getting a good deal on a Condo or House with a fireplace and some other cozy comforts.

I imagine laying back on the sofa before a lit fireplace and Christmas music lightly playing in the background as I read or surf the net on my tablet PC.

I think I am going to look into this for next year.

My parents did that this Christmas (and now through most of January). They are 'wintering' in Sea Isle City, NJ at a friend's rental 2 blocks from the beach while they are waiting for their house in Smyrna to be built. They are REALLY enjoying themselves down there...they take long walks on the beach (have gotten HUGE shells), my dad has been riding his bike and they pretty much have the whole town to themselves. Sometimes they go a whole day without seeing a car drive by. They feel very spoiled right now. We are heading there for New Year's Eve....should be different being down there when it's so quiet!

Sounds nice if you like that kind of quiet and solitude. Personally, it would drive me bonkers. I need people, action, things to do and places to go.

I'd rather do a Colorado mountain Xmas with a big fireplace, ski all day and entertainment in town all night.... maybe Vail. That's like the best of both worlds.

I could do it, but i'm with Hockey, I love interacting with people and the city is the place for me

The quiet sounds LOVELY to me!

I love getting away from it all... I have people over at my house practically every weekend.

Somewhere quiet would be a nice change...

This is why I go camping a lot in the summer... Sorry - not home this weekend - going camping!

And, I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS!

Funny thing I was surfing through and hit this post. Exactly what I'm doing now and I'm at work. We've taken the Christmas music off. I have oldies on. Life is tough.

can I get one of those jobs?

Nothing like having your own place at the beach. Winter time is a fun time. It's the off season and most restaurants are still open.

Been thinking about doing that this month or next month. Id rather be in the mountains though. The beach is for the summer.

They will be hiring 2 or 3 people for the summer . Of course things can get hectic then.

My Grandmom lived in Pot Nets Seaside (I think that's what it's called, used to be Indian Landing)....I used to spend a lot of holidays down there visiting her until she died in 2006. I miss my Grandmom

It's cheaper in the off season to book rooms there too...
Was down in Rehoboth during the last snowstorm, had a great time, enjoyed the hot tub, and the pool.... had a nic-o-boli and Grottos on the second night.... Nicola all the way....

We were at Myrtle Beach one winter a few years ago and we got a room on the beach in a brand name Hotel for less then $30.00 per night. And they had special prices for a week.

How few years ago was that/ Delaware beach areas you can come in under $50 .$30 would be a super bargain.
