Losses and wash sales

Hello all, I have large gains from earlier in the year I would like to wipe out with my micron unrealized losses. Online it says I cannot sell my stock and immediately turn around and buy options. However, what if I sold my stock on December 21st, immediately bought options for March 2019? Would this allow me to realize the losses without activating a wash sale? Or do dates don’t matter? What if I bought options for a year later? In essence I don’t want to get rid of my micron holdings, but the unrealized losses are sizes le. And I rather not pay capital gains in 2018.
