Want something different for the holidays in the Northwest? Take a look at Whale Watching Weektinyurl.com/23cvmv — at the coastal town of Depoe Bay, Dec. 26-Jan. 1.

In the middle of the country, drop in on the Ozark Mountain Christmastinyurl.com/28vmrb — at Branson, Mo., home of live entertainment for just about any taste. The town lights up with holiday lights and many of the stage shows have Christmas themes.

Keep the mountain theme at the Smoky Mountain Christmas Festivaltinyurl.com/yoltga — through the end of December at Dolly Parton's Dollywood in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. This one's definitely focused on the kids, with Babes in Toyland, Santa's Workshop and Tinker the Talking Christmas Tree.
