Absolutely no where... I do not ever, ever travel during the holidays. Made a trip some 25 years ago to Hawaii to visit kids and grandkids... that taught me never to travel over the holidays and I haven't. But if I were to suddenly lose my mind and travel... it would be to one of my two hometowns--NYC and Paris.

5 to 6 days is short, so I would go somewhere that's easy to travel (i.e. not Europe or exotic) and given time of year, I would vote for beach.

Not sure where you live, but I'm near NYC, so I'd be going somewhere around east coast and w/ non stop.  Florida can be really iffy end Dec-mid Feb (we used to go every year), so I think I'd prob go to somewhere like Cancun where weather is much nicer/more steady that time of year and it's an easy trip (non stop/tons of flights from NYC).  I'd take 6am flight to avoid the traffic to airport and maximize time on beach the 1st day.

 

If I had 2 weeks (or even 10 days), then I'd probably go somewhere further.  I've never been to Hawaii so that could be nice in December.  Or, I'd love to go to Australia.  Most of Europe is not so hot that time of year, except for maybe Spain, but I think Spain and most of Europe is much nicer April- Sept.  Of if I had longer I might go back to the game parks in Africa.
