Alternative Christmas holidays
Turkey, stuffing, the Queen’s speech, the dog bolting at the sound of crackers... Christmas is a wonderful time, but it does tend to follow pretty much the same theme each year. If you fancy taking advantage of the holidays to do something a bit different this December, take a look at our alternative Christmas holidays. You could be firing up a barbie on the beach, singing carols in Transylvania or celebrating with Santa himself, in snow-clad Lapland.
