Christmas not for everyone

When you feel like the whole world is celebrating a certain tradition and you don’t share their sentiments, what do you do?
Everyone is in the festive mood this time of the year and are planning their Christmas dinners. Well, if you are not one for the whole Christmas ordeal then here are some pointers as to how you can spend your time during the festive season.

The world does not stop because it is Christmas and there are still plenty of interesting things you can do on the day.
In South Africa, the weather during December is somewhat hot and outdoor activities are always fun. Even though most places close during this time there are still plenty of outdoor venues and activities for you to do.
No one gets fit in the holidays, so why don’t you be the exception? Go on a hiking trip in one of our county’s famous national parks. Grab your tent, hop in the car and just drive this festive season and see new places before the new year.

Since the whole year is bustling with people and human interaction, why not treat yourself. Book into a hotel and spend time at a spa and then a lovely dinner for one.
Having a nice braai at your house never hurt anybody and it is the perfect time to catch up with friends and family if you feel like more human interaction.
Lastly, make sure that you enjoy your few days off, it is important to rest for the new year, even if you don’t celebrate anything, at least make sure you rest.
