Escape abroad for Christmas

Anywhere you want!

You want to spend Christmas in the country? Someone else wants your flat in the city. Or maybe your two-up, two-down in the suburbs is just around the corner from someone else's in-laws. Plenty of people do home exchanges over the holidays, saving everyone a bundle. It's a simple idea that's hugely popular in credit-crunch Britain - and you could end up staying in some wonderful places, from a three-bedroom house in Rugby, to a ski chalet in Switzerland, or even a four-bedroom house in Dubai. Membership costs £29 for one year.
