Santa is hanging out under the sun!

Even Santa will be there!!

{I so wish I could do this!!!}
I can't think of anything more festive and romantic at the same time! :)


Here's a fun idea for the holidays if you're looking to do a getaway to Southern California! 

Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego
Featuring a “Buon Natale” Gondola Cruise this holiday season! 

Instead of serenading couples with Italian love songs, the resort’s one-of-a-kind Santa Gondolier treats guests to their favorite Christmas carols as they cruise through the enchanting canals and waterways of the Coronado Cays. The experience is complete with hot cider (spiked or regular) and sugar cookies. Available December 16 to December 23.

Two summers ago, hubby and I went to Santa Monica, California for a quick weekend getaway.

When we walked by the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay next time!

 Right on the beach - the Loews Hotel looked amazing!
Who wouldn't want to take a swim here?!

Or enjoy some hot chocolate here at the Loews Santa Monica fireside lounge!?

 It by far has the most ideal location and is gorgeous! 

If you're looking to get in some beach time this holiday season, check out Loews Hotels' holiday deals!! 

From now until Jan. 8, 2012, both hotels are offering a “Home for the Holidays” promotion. 

When guests stay three or more nights, they enjoy a 20-percent discount on their room rate.

Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel in Los Angeles
Can’t Miss Activity: A “Not So Wintery Wonderland” Reception

{Seriously, what could be better than celebrating Christmas with the ocean as your backdrop?!}

Each night from December 14 to 25, the hotel’s beautiful oceanfront Fireside Lounge will be transformed into a festive seaside setting complete with complimentary hot cider, holiday music, ornament decorating for kids, “Rudolph Roll” sushi demonstrations, a special holiday menu and more.

Where do you like to celebrate the holidays?

Stay home or go away??
