" During the holiday season, we tend to focus on what to buy for other people. But this year, we decided to do something a little different and asked each of the WD editors what they want to receive. Today&amp;#039;s wish list item comes from Associate Editor Terry Grieco Kenny.   Mohonk Moutain House Weekend The gift I would love to receive this Christmas is a winter weekend at my favorite hotel-Mohonk Mountain House. I just love it there! It&amp;#039;s a 140 year old Victorian castle in New Paltz NY and although it&amp;#039;s just 90 minutes from NYC, when I go there I truly feel like I&amp;#039;m in another world. I love the breath-taking natural beauty of its surroundings and the fact that there is so much to do there. We usually go in the winter and go hiking, or cross country skiing (if we&amp;#039;re lucky enough to go when there is snow on the ground). There is a magnificent ice skating pavilion and although I am a horrible ice skater and pretty much hug the rail as I skate around, it&amp;#039;s still so much fun. The food (which is included) is really incredible. There is also a magnificent spa and we spend a lot of time in the spa pool floating around and relaxing to the music they have playing underwater! I could go on and on about it.. it&amp;#039;s a really magical place and I just have such a special place in my heart for it. Are you listening Santa?? \u2013 Terry Grieco Kenny   Prices vary based on room and time of year; Mohonk.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
