Christmas Trips Questions
Why do my christmas lights trip my breaker after about 20 minutes? I have a circuit with 3 outlets and a 20 amp breaker for my Christmas lights. The first outlet is a ground fault outlet. The other 2 are normal outlets. After about 15 or 20 minutes my breaker trips. I really dont think I have over 20 amps in lights. I would think that if it were a short due to snow the ground fault would trip first, but its not. I was very careful to waterproof all extension cord joins as best I could. Any thought are appreciated.
Christmas Trip: What city should I go to on the west coast? Help me pick!!? HELP! I live in Southern California and my husband and I want to get away for a few days during Christmas. We want to travel somewhere on the west coast or somewhere quick that is less than a 3 hour flight from Los Angeles. Some cities we have in mind are: Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, and anywhere else. Please let us know some cool areas and why you think they are great. I have a lot of Hilton points so it has to be somewhere where I can use those points for the hotel stay. Thanks! We've been to Las Vegas before. Northern Cali..where abouts? I love San Fran but we were just there in July. Umm, Cambria sounds great. I have some friends that highly recommend that and going to Hearst Castle.

How to make a gift of a trip to Disney for my kids this Christmas? My kids are getting a trip to Disney for Christmas, I want some good, inventive ways to gift it on Christmas morning.

My Christmas Light keep tripping my breakers what can I do? I've never had this problem before but added c-9 lights this year which i assume is the problem.

Casino trip - good Christmas present for my boyfriend? My boyfriend really enjoys going to the casino. For Christmas, I was thinking about getting a room at the MGM Grand so he could stay there and gamble, while not having to worry about driving. They offer package deals where you can get a room, $100 in FreePlay, and food vouchers for a reasonable price. Would this be a good Christmas present, or does this seem impersonal? I was going for the idea that he would have a whole night of fun ahead of him, and it would be (mostly) paid for.

When are the best days to travel on the highways around the Christmas holiday? I'm trying to figure out a trip to see family on Christmas, for about a week. I'm looking at a full day of driving to reach the destination, mostly highway driving. Christmas falls on a Monday this year. I'm figuring that the Friday before (22nd) would be bad for travel, and probably the Tuesday (26th) will be busy as well. What would you suggest as the ideal days to travel, in order to overlap Christmas day with a week of time off? Would Wednesday through Wednesday make the most sense? Thanks.
How long does New York stay decorated for Christmas? I wanted to take a trip to the city at the end of January and I wondered if a lot of the city would still be decorated for Christmas.

Thanks!

What should I get my wife for Christmas? My wife and I have been married since August 4th. She is 4 months pregnant, and is not big into jewelry, make-up, or perfume.

Also, we've set a $100 limit for each other so we don't go financially overboard because of the baby on the way. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
What is your favorite Christmas tradition from your childhood? & Do you still celebrate with that tradition? My favorie Christmas tradition is going to Disneyland every year at this time. My earliest memories of Christmas have always included a trip to the happiest place on earth.It is so beautiful, happy and fun. Now grown with a family we still continue the tradition. To me, Christmas is such a happy time of year. I love the music, the lights, decorating the house and tree, the smell of the freshly cut tree in the house,the traditions, and the closeness of family. Have a Happy Holiday!
