For many Americans, January is about New Year’s resolutions, cleaning up from the holidays, and getting back to work. And, believe it or not, for anyone planning to cash in miles or points for next year’s holiday travel, January is also the time to start thinking about making reservations.

Santa still inhibits a world that has bypassed most of us. A world without checked luggage charges, surly flight attendants, constant fare changes, overzealous baggage restrictions, invasive searches, or that guy that reclines his seatback into your lap. But it seems justified that the guy who ensures a happy Christmas morn for hundreds of thousands of children should get the benefit of private transport, no Customs hassles, and the availability of hundreds of elves to help load all that extra carry-on.

Yes, the after-Christmas sales are in full swing. With particularly good deals on candy, cards, and decorations. But no, this post is not a joke. Travelers planning a vacation for next year’s Christmas break, especially the week between Christmas and New Year, should consider making plans soon, because this year is going to be especially tough.

Another Hawaii hotel sales representative came into our office last week to talk about her property. And as so many others have done in the past month, she said “We even have holiday space, tell your clients.”

It’s already into December and you suddenly realize you really don’t want to sit at home that week after Christmas. A quick look online or a call to your travel agent will tell you, a few days in Hawaii or the Caribbean or Mexico really isn’t much of an option, unless you’re prepared to spend thousands in airfare before even beginning to look at prices for the few hotels available.
