I have two weeks off in December starting on the 19th. DH and I were hoping to leave that day or the day before and come back around Christmas Eve-ish. But I have no idea where to go! We were going to visit my cousin in San Diego but the flights are pretty expensive so I'm just looking for different options that I might not have thought of. I was hoping to go someplace warmer (we're in Ohio) but really I'm pretty open.

We went to Jamaica around that time of year. We got a cheap direct flight from Chicago. It made for an easy trip because all we wanted to do was drink on the beach.
I predict flight prices will probably be reasonable for the 22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 1st. Hotel prices will probably not be reasonable from Christmas to New Years since a lot of people have that same time period off.
I agree with looking into deals in the Caribbean. Another alternative is to find a conference-heavy location. San Francisco hotels are much cheaper over the holidays. Europe is usually cheaper in the winter but I'm not sure about the Christmas holiday.
You posted on Friday. Remember to never look at flight prices on Friday (wait until Monday or Tuesday). I think prices will shift again after Labor Day as the airlines move into their slow months and people start planning holiday travel (though holiday travel flight prices may go up).
