Of course, I have an opinion for you... I'd go ahead and go on December 19. I have a friend that calls days like that a "soak up" day. Just go, know that it's gonna be pretty crowded, don't expect to go on a lot of attractions, expect the crowds, but soak up the atmosphere. And keep the part of the AP mentality that says there's always next time.
Napsto and I did that a couple weeks ago.... we went on a Saturday and knew it was gonna be really crowded, but we really wanted to see the Christmas decorations, so we went anyway. We were only there for a few hours, saw everything we wanted to see, then went somewhere else to watch football.
Also, know that not *every* district has that week off, though most do. The district where I live will still be in school on the 19th.
But I'm with you usually....rainy weekdays are my favorite!
