#christmas_promotion_boxes {width:1000px; margin:0 auto 0 auto; text-align:center;}

Answer 1

Display the divs as inline-block like so :

#christmas_promotion_boxes div {
  display: inline-block;
}

Fiddle

Answer 2

You need the div's containing the images to be floated.

Add this section of code into your css:

#christmas_promotion_boxes > *{
    float:left;
}

Answer 3

When I have inline elements I always put them in a ul and display the li's inline. This way you don't have to worry about floating anything and it is much more scalable.

<ul>
  <li id="christmas_promo_1"><img src="http://lilliemcferrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/vivid_flowers-wide.jpg" width="200" height="100"></li>
  <li id="christmas_promo_2"><img src="http://lilliemcferrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/vivid_flowers-wide.jpg" width="200" height="100"></li>
  <li id="christmas_promo_3><img src="http://lilliemcferrin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/vivid_flowers-wide.jpg" width="200" height="100"></li>
</ul>

ul{
 width:5em
}

li{
 display:inline;
 list-style-type:none;
}
