Again, we couldn't find a weekend during the Fall that works for us. As they say, YMMV.
And I've never found the time between Christmas & New Years to be that important in my family or in the families of any of my friends. Growing up, all our family gatherings with relatives was BEFORE Christmas. Once Christmas was over, relatives went home and there was nothing to do. Many scout councils are now running "winter camps" and week-long youth training during that time of the year and are very successful.
