[quote=Anonymous]You could totally do a warm weather Christmas vacation if you drive and rent a vacation condo for the week. It's an expensive time though, so to save money you might look at luxury developments with a nice pool in southern Florida (for the warmer temps) that are NOT in Orlando (because then you'll want to do Disney and blow your budget) nor right on the beach (competing with snow birds & $$ families who hit the beach at Christmas.) Something like on the outskirts like Lely Resort near Naples, or Deerfield Beach. Maybe you could do a house swap with a Florida family that wants to come up north to visit relatives at Christmas time? or just search really hard for an oceanview condo partial week in Sanibel?
If I am going to rent a cabin during a snowy week, I am going to want a jacuzzi or hot tub, and to ski, which is pricey for a family. But if you mix it up with other activities like at a state park (XC, skating, snowshoe hikes, quaint town activities, pancake breakfast and snowball fights, snow fort building, collecting firewood) you could have a magical time. Maybe something near Snowshoe (Davies WV) or Timberline. Massanutten has an indoor water park and a small ski/tubing area. Lancaster Pa has the train museum, toy train museum, Dutch Wonderland, Amish attractions, kid's play museum, Hershey at Christmas nearby (the Hershey Theater is gorgeous btw) and not far to Gettysburg/Liberty for sking WITH daycare. 
Williamsburg is also nice especially if it's not too cold or snowy, lots of outdoor trails, indoor museums, hotels with indoor pools, and a bouncy house place just north of town. Check out other stuff in Newport News (USS Monitor at the Mariner's Museum), Virginia War Museum, Virginia Air and Space center, Virginia Living Museum, Fort Monroe etc., hit the spa for a day while the kids play indoor games, and you have a very full week.
