There are a few national parks in my city and nearby, although none of them are particularly well known nationally. The one closest to me is quite small with coastal forest walking tracks. I used to walk through there once a week.

There are also a couple of larger ones with campsites that I went camping in when I was in high school.
They're all really quite nice.

Are you doing (or did you do) anything interesting for Christmas?
