replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @RooLovesTravel @DawnCorleone @coastalspc @CharlesMcCool @thethoughtcard @becky_traveller It’s been really good, actually. Time off for a couple of pre-Christmas day trips and catch-ups. How was your week? #PTTravel

Q1 Do you celebrate any holidays, such as Christmas, around this time of year and if so, what do you do to celebrate?

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I knew! I predicted the anarchy ahead of time. I find it hard to believe you're not blasting Mariah out whilst drinking mulled wine and throwing tinsel on everything 😆 #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A1: I generally ignore Christmas itself. It's just like a vaguely more annoying Sunday.
That I live alone and don't generally socialise probably has something to do with that.
kate_frankie
replying to @paulpassingthru @paulpassingthru I've always been interested to know (my friends on USA are split on this one) do you include Thanksgiving as part of the Holiday season? #PTTravel

@kate_frankie I'm currently listening to an online playlist of 90s britpop (atm "Going For Gold" by Shed Seven). Earlier today it was 90s Rave. Who knows what it'll be next. #pttravel
Mulled wine I find quite dreadful. #pttravel lol. Alcohol isn't supposed to be hot!

A1 I celebrate Christmas and usually take a trip somewhere for New Year's Eve too. I love the decorations, seeing people, eating food together, music, films. The whole thing. Having a shutdown period at work so we don't go back until new year is great

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel tbqh I'd personally rather have the option to work it and take time off elsewhere in the year when it would be more useful and convenient.

Q2 Which trips have you taken around this time that have felt festive? If you haven't, which places would you like to go to?

Good evening, I've just arrived back home in Glasgow after a short train trip #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. I celebrate Christmas in so much as I enjoy the trappings of it. It’s nice to spend time with family and fill my face with stollen and glühwein. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: I'm ready for Christmas by 1st Dec. Due to celebrate with family, eating mainly. By New Year's usually take the tree down 😁 #PTTravel

A2: Sadly, we’ve had to postpone going to Germany and Austria for Christmas the past two years. Hopefully 2022 will be better! #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: I once had a trip over Christmas to Poland (Zakopane). It was very cold and very snowy. Looked festive, for sure.
Another year I was in Tunisia at New Year. This was Not Festive.

A1 I kind of celebrate Christmas by not working I guess. In case I'm in Germany (which is gonna happen this year), I have a nice dinner with my family #PTTravel

replying to @dgtlwriter @dgtlwriter @kate_frankie There's always dispute about when the tree goes up and down. It feels sometimes barely worth the effort. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: I really miss festive trips. We've been to Helsinki, Finland (for Lapland), New York, Paris in Decembers past. January I've travelled to Hawaii and Thailand #PTTravel

A2 I've visited a few Christmas markets "accidentally" by visiting cities before Christmas. That felt a bit festive #PTTravel
kate_frankie
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Definitely not the first time I've heard that. Not everyone loves holidays. I think it would be a warmer trip for me if I wasn't celebrating. Too dark and potential to be miserable! #PTTravel

replying to @paulpassingthru @paulpassingthru @kate_frankie Haha, they’re not exactly Scottish things either, but they’re the Christmas I choose to celebrate. I guess I celebrate Weihnachten more than Christmas. #PTTravel

I’ve never taken a trip over Christmas Day, but a trip that definitely made me feel festive was a trip to the Christmas markets of Vienna

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 I was surprised how gorgeous the hotel lobbies in New Orleans were for Christmas. And private homes, too. And how about @VisitGraceland (last pic)? Saw all this on super fun @ColletteTravel tour. #travel #funness #pttravel
