There is so much to enjoy at this time of year.
There are so many festive songs to be sung, and get togethers with family and old friends to be had. However, some people can find the materialistic aspects of the season a little wearying.
The perfect solution to this may be treating someone special to a holiday this year. If you do it right, this can be a wonderful alternative to traditional gifts.
Wrap it up
If young children are involved, you will want it to still feel like a gift.
After all, a trip away will be exciting when the time comes, but can feel underwhelming to kids on Christmas morning.
One way to ensure it seems special is to wrap up the holiday tickets in the sort of fancy festive paper that will sparkle under the fairy lights of the Christmas tree. You could even choose a large box, and add balloons to the outside for extra flair.
Turn it into a treasure hunt
In addition to wrapping up the holiday tickets, why not include additional fun for the children by turning it into a Christmas morning treasure hunt.
Hide them in a secret place within the house or the garden, putting clues to the location in their festive stockings. This will make the whole thing feel extra magical for the kids.
Choose a festive destination
Some destinations will feel much more appropriate for a yuletide break than others. A skiing trip in the snow is the perfect example of a Christmassy break that your loved ones can look forward to.
