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 Rob, Rhys and the team, and of course the community here who have got each other through a tough year.

    My Christmas is home, alone… sad, but it’s the right thing to do in the wider circumstances. No travel booked at all for next year either… let’s see how long that lasts. Hopefully less than I think 😊

    Merry Christmas to you Rob and that amazing team of yours!
    Here’s to:
    My son playing with John Oates at the Troubadour in LA through Hilton Auctions
    Hilton Diamond extension through to 2023 with £100 Amex money off
    Hyatt Globalist upgrade with £200 Amex money off
    BA companion vouchers
    £100’s savings on Shop Small
    Virgin bonus points through the new Virgin Red
    The bonus uplift on the Virgin Plus Mastercard
    And these are just a fraction of the benefits I’ve gained this year alone thanks to the team and their timely scribes on HfP.
    Thank you for, what could have otherwise been a true dump, turning this year into something worth striving for and looking forward to 2021 😁
    Merry Christmas
