December 2020

From festive frivolities to wintery treats, the Christmas season is well and truly upon us. December is a month of fun and celebration so grab your friends, round up your family, wrap up warm and enjoy all what the Christmas season has to offer.  

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  

[Location] is absolutely spectacular at Christmas, with the twinkling lights and carol singers on every corner. Don’t leave everything until the last minute this year, the big day is only [?] days away and those socks won’t buy themselves.  

What’s your favourite Christmas film? 

Some of our favourites include:  

> The Grinch 

> A Muppets Christmas Carol 

> It’s a Wonderful Life  

> Die Hard  

Curl up on the coach this December and indulge in a Christmas movie marathon.  

It’s cold! But did you know that there are so many winter sports to participate in in [Location]? 

> Ice Skating 

> Snowboarding  

Ice Hockey  

Have you ever tried a winter sport before? Let us know in the comments below. 

Not only is it the festive season, but it’s also comfort food season.  

From delightful casseroles and delicious desserts to chunky biscuits and gooey cakes, December is our favourite culinary time of year. 

 

What are you cooking this month? And, more importantly, what are you eating?  

 

What better way to shake off that post-Christmas hangover and extra turkey sandwiches than with a refreshing, albeit cold, swim? Boxing day is known for people stripping off and braving the elements. 

So, will you be going for a boxing day dip this year?  

2020 has been a tough year for a lot of people for many different reasons. If you want to help people less fortunate than yourself this December, [Location] has lots of ways in which you can help out, be it serving food at a homeless shelter or providing company to the elderly.  

 

Can’t face the relatives? Fed up of the bickering and another EastEnders special? Why don’t you take up a new, outdoor hobby this December? Be it horse riding, kayaking or rock wall climbing, there are so many fun, exciting and refreshing hobbies to try out when the festivities get too much.   

Don’t want to leave the house? Enjoy an alternative December this year in the comfort of your own home. Indulge and celebrate doing whatever you choose – pamper yourself, read a book from cover to cover, watch 12 seasons of your favourite series back-to-back.  

Simply relax, put your feet up and enjoy an alternative December away from the madness.  

Are you a zoom quiz champion?  

This December, brush up on your general knowledge and get your quiz on as the dark nights take hold.  

What’s your specialist subject? Ask us a quiz question – we might be able to answer!

Have you ever taken dance lessons?  

Were you a ballroom champion back in the day? Or were you a fox trot aficionado? This month, why don’t you head out onto the dance floor, roll back the years and bust a move or two. 

Hot tubs are a great way to relax, unwind and even spend time with friends and family. Perfect for the cold weather, a hot tub party is an alternative way to get outdoors and party with your loved ones.  

Virtual keep fit classes are on the rise. From yoga sessions to inhouse bikes, virtual keep fit classes are a great way to stay active and interact with hundreds of people, encouraging you every step of the way.  

Are you a creative person? Life drawing is a great way to relax and let your creative juices flow.

Who doesn’t love cosying up with a cup of tea and a good book? What’s your favourite book genre? 

> Autobiography 

> Crime Fiction  

> Historical

We love [Book Genre]  

 

Gift vouchers make great presents for friends and family. More personal than money, our bespoke gift vouchers certainly hit the gift-giving spot.

Music is a great way to get you geared up for any season. Perfect for both children and adults alike, a winter playlist is both fun to make and fun to sing along with 

Compile all your favourite tunes, from songs that remind you of summer to that new band you’ve been dying to check out, and listen until your heart’s content.  

What’s your favourite song and why? Maybe we can add it to our playlist!  

Have you got green fingers?  

Despite the weather, you can still get out in the garden, get some fresh air and prune and pick until your heart’s content. Perfect for both the older and younger generations, gardening in the winter months is a great way to stay active.  

From bungee jumping and open water swimming to skateboarding and free jumping, extreme sports are more popular than ever before. If you fancy a walk on the wild side, then maybe an extreme sport could be for you.  

What’s the most extreme sport you’ve ever participated in?  

Happy New Year!  

We absolutely love New Year’s Eve in [Location]. From the spectacular fireworks to the amazing celebrations, New Year’s Eve is the best night of the year to celebrate with friends and family and ring in 2021 in style.   

What are you binge watching at the moment?  

When the weather’s grim and there’s nowhere to go and nothing do, you can’t beat diving into a series from start to finish. 

At the moment we’re obsessed with: 

> The Crown 

> After Life 

> The Wire 

> Game of Thrones  

Let us know what you’re watching at the moment, and please, no spoilers!  

December is a great month to take a step back and revaluate everything you’ve achieved in the past 12 months. It’s also a great time to make a new year bucket list.  

Set goals, make wishes and put down markers, a new year bucket list is an incredible way to get hyped up for the year ahead whilst ticking off all the amazing things that have gone before.  

What’s on your new year bucket list?   

Virtual get-togethers are so popular right now.  

Partying, chatting and dancing in front of your computer whilst at home is a great way to keep in touch with your friends. From virtual quizzes and book clubs to fitness classes and coffee mornings, there’s not much you can’t do virtually these days.  

Are you in a book club?  

From crime sagas to page-turning thrillers, a book club is a fun way to get together with friends, read your favourite novels and discuss all the juicy bits over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.  

We absolutely loved [Author] [book]. Have you read a good book recently? If so, recommend it to us in the comments below.

We know it’s cold. And yes, it might be raining. But you can still party outside this December. 

Whether you’re getting together in groups of 6 or partying with your partner, decorate the garden and party in style no matter the weather. This year, garden parties aren’t just for summer!  

 

It’s Secret Santa time!  

We love Secret Santa here at [Business]. From picking a name out of the hat to buying the silliest gift we can find; we love the mystery of Secret Santa. 

But what’s your go-to Secret Santa gift?  

> Perfume 

> Voucher 

> Alcohol  

> Something Silly  

Let us know below. We promise we won’t tell anyone!  

It’s office party season! How are you celebrating with your work colleagues this year?  

Be it virtual parties or socially distanced soirees, there’s no better feeling than partying with your work friends, letting your hair down and celebrating all what you’ve achieved this year!  

Enjoy!

“Happy Christmas Eve Eve” said Phoebe Buffay on December 14, 1995 and thus, #ChristmasEveEve was born.
