I'd go for LA due to sunshine, moutains possibly snow covered in the background, and loads of palm trees.

I don't really want summer weather at Christmas (Honolulu). Chicago would be dead last due to the low temps at night and in the morning, though it would be nice to have a white Christmas. One of these years we are going to get one here.
Its not guaranteed to be 'drizzly' at Christmas in London! In fact 'drizzle' is no where near as common as people on here seem to imagine but hey you can't fight stereotypes! It will be dark by 4pm though and even if it is a sunny day the sun is only around 15 degrees above the horizon at Christmas! It also will probably be between 5 and 10 degrees centigrade - give me the heat of Honolulu any day, so my vote goes to Honolulu and Christmas on the beach.

I had voted for LA based on the averages. However, last Christmas there it was 82°F with 12% humidity. I would choose any of the other options over a day like that.

Ariete, wow, you have chosen Honolulu. Is it a joke or something? Or was it just a mistake? I thought you liked snow.

I choose Honolulu, because it's the only city on that list I have not been to.

Great city, where you can play tennis year round there as well!
Easily my pick, although LA is not a bad option either.

Yeah, tennis-wise LA would be better because there is so much going on. Every weekend you can watch high quality tennis. Here only when the ITF tournaments are on you see some good players.

I saw kokkinakas live here, you probably know who he is (won a set off nadal at aus open).

My first choice would be Chicago for the snow and freezing temperatures. Then London for cold and damp weather to see this great city in Christmas mood. The other cities only for the summer not in the winter!
