First, decide your destination. Where do you want to spend Christmas in? Do you like some tropical place? Or do you like somewhere else that has snow all over the place. Having decided where to go, the next thing for you to do is to plan the things that you are to bring in your travel. I suggest you only bring the things that are prime commodities. I mean bring only few luggages, because for sure before you get home, you will be going shopping in that place. So it will only increase the weight of your luggage. Remember, limit your luggage.

Also, remember to take some medicines with you, especially when you have allergies and is not used to changing climates. In line with this, maybe it will be better if you bring with a map of the place that you are to spend your vacation in. you need this to avoid being lost in that place.

Now, while staying, try to move and act comfortable. Do not act like a total stranger, this may attract people with bad intention to foreigners. Try to look more confident as to not get some bad impression to the natives of the place that you are staying in.

Never ever wear flashy things; you only may get yourself in some trouble. You have to be vigilant. You should be careful while walking along the streets and alleys. Maybe it will be better to stay on the main roads. You also should be aware of the rules and regulations that that place implements. You never when you already are breaking certain laws in that place. You do not want to get yourself behind bars in a foreign place, don't you?

You also should be careful in choosing the hotels that you spend your stay in. Avoid traveling alone. Be careful about sharing your traveling plans with strangers. Always be aware of what is going on around you. Before you leave the hotel make sure to double check your luggage. Make sure you never miss or left anything.
