Picture 23.pngI_Heart_City_LOGO.jpgLast year, in our “World of Christmas” series on the blog, we reached out to hotel insiders in a dozen cities to find out their top suggestions for celebrating the holidays. But this year, inspired by our ever-popular “I Heart My City” posts on Intelligent Travel, we’re opening it up to you.

We’ve put together a festively-themed fill-in-the-blank questionnaire after the jump, and we’d love to hear your responses. So cut and paste the list, fill in your answers, and email us your picks at intelligenttravel@ngs.org. (Please include links and photos if possible). We’ll be featuring your “My City Celebrates” posts through the New Year. Happy Holidays!
