Christmas/New Year travel spots?

I wrote a blog yesterday on how Tokyo was named the top-searched travel destination for Christmas and New Year's travel by Google for this year. I love Tokyo, of course, and it was my home for several years before moving to Niigata – but I wanted to ask the rest of you about your favorite domestic spots for the festive season. Any places that give you the warm and fuzzy Christmas feelings? Perhaps places with great Christmas markets, illuminations, or anything of that nature would be good suggestions. With so much focus on the big three (Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto) it would be great to get some recommendations outside those places if you have any!

"Pocket money" sites?

With Christmas under 100 days away, it's a time of year where I really try to increase any extra earnings I can make for my household -- obviously there's a lot more outgoing expenses for those of us that celebrate at the tail end of the year. Back when I was a university student in my home country, there were lots of different market research survey sites where you could earn a bit of extra cash and be paid either via direct deposit to your bank account or with gift cards for supermarkets and the like. Does anyone know of any similar sites like that here? Obviously I'm not expecting tons of cash from any of them, but hey -- anything extra helps!
