What should we expect for weather, Im starting to stress over packing!!! Any ideas?

Do yourself and your sanity a favor.Don't pack any clothes till a few days before. Weather in December is very unpredicatable.I have been there when we were in shorts one day and winter jackets the next.Layers are usually the method of dress.But I save any serious clothing choices till about 3 days before departure.

I agree, it's hard to know exactly what to pack until about 3 days before you go in Dec., due to the weather changes. We go the week that you mentioned, and usually wear shorts during the day, and pants/light jacket or sweatshirt at night. Last year it got really cold on a few days, I'm glad I bought some extra sweaters, and gloves!

If you check the weather sites about 2-3 days before you leave, you should have a good idea as to the highs and lows for your entire stay.

Predicting the weather now and packing what you "think" you need will only get you more worked up when you have to re-do everything on Dec 21st!

Temp's in December can be highly variable. In one trip we experienced everything from shorts/t-shirt weather to winter coat weather. Your best bet is to bring layers. That way some combination of clothes will keep you comfortable no matter what conditions you encounter.
