The holidays are coming and that is a big deal in Texas as many hotels and resorts are preparing to make their establishment merry and full of Christmas cheer.  Many children will have as much as two weeks out of school and that would be the perfect time to take advantage and plan a family vacation.

Culture Map Austin has provided a list of hotels that are offering holiday getaways so I have found three hotels in Texas that will ensure a lot of family fun and plenty of Christmas activities for the kids.

You and your family can have a jolly ole time at the Lone Star Christmas at Gaylord Texan from November 10 – January 1.  Marvel at more than 2 million holiday lights and acres of magnificent decorations, plus spectacular holiday activities like Glacier Glide Ice Skating, 12 lanes of snow tubing, cookies with Mrs. Claus and events that are sure to get you in the spirit of the season and create lasting family memories!

Moody Gardens takes the holidays to a whole new level of cool! A skilled team of master ice carvers has charted your course for your journey through the rainforests of the world to see monkeys, beautiful birds, incredible butterflies, colorful orchids and so many wonderful creatures. Your hosts on this journey are the spectacular leaf cutter ants carrying Christmas lights and other decorations to a magical place. A giant ice slide takes you from the tree tops through to the forest floor, ancient ruins and rivers edge to prepare for the most joyous time of the year. Also be sure to check out Shivers Ice Bar!

As you can see these destinations are very beautiful and will definitely keep the entire family occuppied with holiday fun.  Also, some hotels are offering specials too that will make it a lot easier on your wallet.  Go ahead and treat the family and have that much needed getaway.  You will thank me later.
