Do you need to get away? I can help.

My site, TravelingMom.com has two great vacation giveaways going right now. You can win just in time to wrap up a family vacation this holiday season.

One is a ski trip for a family of four to Aspen, Colorado. The $10,000 Dream Big ski trip includes:

Five nights in a two-bedroom condo at the Capital Peak Lodge
Ski lessons for two kids for two days
Lift tickets for two adults and two children
Three days of ski and snowboard equipment rentals
A two-hour Krabloonik Dog Sled Ride through the pristine Snowmass/Aspen wilderness.

That contest ends at 11:59pm ET on Dec. 19. Visit TravelingMom to find out about all the ways you can enter to win.

If you prefer warm weather

While I kind of like the whole apres ski thing, I'm not a big fan of spending my winter holiday in a place with more snow than Chicago. If I won a family vacation, I'd want to go some place warm.

If you're like me, then this is the contest for you: The Holiday Travel Double Take Giveaway, courtesy of the Capital One Venture card.

This trip includes plane tickets for a family of four and five nights in a hotel anywhere in the continental United States, worth up to $5,000. So you could still head to Aspen. But not me. I'd be headed to Key West, Florida.

Regardless of where you want to go, as they say, you can't win if you don't enter. Good luck. And if you win and don't need one of those plane tickets, will you take me along? (Only if you're going somewhere warm, however.)
