Happy Christmas to you and your family from all of the team here at HfP.

Long term readers will know that this Christmas Day article is generally used for people to discuss where they have flown to for a Christmas break.

This year, of course, is different. Many plans have been ruined, not just now but across the year. Whilst we are a travel site and travel is what unites us, it is important to remember that many people will be having a far worse Christmas than a lost holiday, away for their loved ones or remembering someone they lost this year.

Life cycles on, of course. Anika is just days away from the birth of her second daughter, whilst Sinead is also expecting her first child in the next few weeks. My first child was born on 27th December so I know what a heavily pregnant Chrismas is like. Rhys is off in Canterbury whilst I headed off to the Middle East for a holiday a few days before London dropped into Tier 4. When I will get back is a different question ….

I hope you enjoy a well deserved break, wherever in the world you are and whoever you are with. If you are not with anyone, you are definitely not alone in being alone.

Thank you for your support over the past crazy year. It may get worse before it gets better, but let’s focus on Easter for some sort of return to normality.

We will slowly get back into things tomorrow, with at least one article and the return of the chat thread.

With our best wishes,

Rob and the HfP team

    Merry Christmas to the fantastic HfP team, I’ve only been following for 3 years since I moved to the UK from Australia but have already gotten two F trips in that time thanks to HfP! Third one was meant to be a trip home to see the family for Christmas but that’s just how this year has gone.

    Thanks to the team and regular community who have kept us all updated on the ever changing landscape!

    To the (family of the) author of “The Year We Muddled Through”, who promoted it on this website last week – thank you so much. I had never previously heard of the book. I gave it to my wife (and daughter) for Christmas, and it’s made her cry twice today already.

      Perfect. Thank you for the message.

      I’ll pass it onto the wife.

      Have a lovely Christmas 🙂
