Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where todayâs episode dives into the joys (and challenges) of Christmas traditions. From big family gatherings to once-in-a-lifetime trips, weâve covered it all â including a debate on whether companies should close between Christmas and New Year.
Hereâs what we shared:
- Mix it up: Whether itâs hosting at home, booking an Airbnb, or heading abroad, breaking tradition can make you appreciate it even more when you return.
- Lapland magic: If youâve got young kids, a trip to meet Father Christmas is the ultimate experience â snow, forests, and a bit of clever planning to keep the magic alive. Itâs like Disneyland for Christmas, but once is enough to make memories for a lifetime.
- Big family Christmas: Renting a house with 20+ relatives might sound intense, but itâs also packed with laughter, games, and unforgettable moments.
And the big question: should businesses close between Christmas and New Year?
Our take: Absolutely, if you can, you should. Itâs the one time of year everyone can spend uninterrupted time with their families. Shut the doors, enjoy the break, and start fresh in the new year â you wonât regret it.
