What is a good place to visit for Christmas holiday? I live in West Coast close to SF preferably not too long of a flight (under 10 hours). I have also recently become a U.S. citizen so it would be nice not to get a visa.

Costa Rica is great. No visa required. You can fly to either San Jose or Liberia. Another fantastic destination is Belize. Unsure if there are directs from SFO, but both locations are probably between 5-7 hours from you. Can always connect in LAX, or other major cities.

If you can get reservations, I enjoy New York City at the holidays. See the Rockettes, the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, go ice skating, and check out the beautiful holiday displays in the stores.

I work with NYC clients and already go there way too often. Otherwise it would be great! They have amazing food as well. Thanks

Bruges/Belgium is nice during the holidays. Not sure how long of a flight it would be from SFO though

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days.
