#8 of 10: San Antonio, Texas
Texans will use any excuse to throw a fiesta and what better one is there than having a Feliz Navidad? At Christmastime San Antonio comes alive with lights and merry makers and a diverse array of festivities. Celebrating Mass in an 18th century Cathedral, holiday shopping at a Mexican market, enjoying the River Walk in weather so mild your family may be in short sleeves for the holidays are just a few of the fun activities that await you this time of year.

Visit the nation's largest Mexican market for a holiday celebration that lasts all month. Here you can shop for unique Christmas gifts, like handmade jewelry and indigenous pottery, and also enjoy "La Gran Posada," San Fernando Cathedral's re-enactment of the story of Mary and Joseph.
