Whatever floats your boat

Christmas is fast approaching and festivities are very much in full swing with office Christmas parties (and more than a few sore heads); supermarkets echoing with everything from ‘Santa Baby’ to ‘Rockin around the Christmas tree;’ and cards piling through the letter box like no tomorrow!

Yet whilst we Brits are now preparing to put the Brussels sprouts on to boil, families around the world have very different ideas. Did you know that the most popular Christmas food in Japan is fried chicken with outlets such as KFC fully booked on Christmas Day and accepting pre-orders; whilst in Australia; the majority of families will be heading for the beach with their trusty BBQ and tinnies in tow.

However, one tradition which appears to be universal is the Christmas tree and regardless of where you are celebrating in the world you will be dazzled with baubles and lights. Harrogate Christmas & Gift is less than a month away, so don’t miss the opportunity to see the latest innovations in lights, decorations, baubles and trees.
