Any plans?
Twixmas is the period of time in between Christmas and New Year – from 27th to 30th December.
It’s that strange ‘inbetweeny’ time when we often find ourselves at a bit of a loose end. With Christmas and Boxing day festivities finished and the anticipation of New Year’s Eve still on the horizon, many people wish they had planned something to do when this time of year comes around.
Although it’s a relatively new term used (and can still mystify some people when it’s said) the term ‘Twixmas’ originates from the archaic word ‘betwixt’, which means ‘between’.
According to Google Trends, Google searches for the term ‘Twixmas’ peaks in around November each year and there has been an increased interest in the idea of Twixmas during the last two years. According to Google Trends also, it’s predominantly a British thing, but there is some interest in Twixmas further field too, such as the USA, Brazil, India, Vietnam and even Indonesia!
Playing host over Christmas can be totally exhausting, so Twixmas is a fantastic time to get some R&R. These few ‘inbetweeny’ days give you the opportunity to whisk yourself and a loved one (or a select small group maybe) away from the routine of home without having to travel overseas for some good quality time off.
In the run-up to Christmas things can get quite chaotic and being able to enjoy the festive activities taking place, can often go out of the window! Twixmas is a great time to be able to enjoy the festive feeling, many attractions stay too, so why not enjoy this period in the beautiful and relaxing environment that Cornwall offers. Whether it’s ice skating in a local Cornish town, watching a pantomime or simply going sight seeing, there’s still time to make the most of the festive season!
Christmas is often about pure indulgence and being indoors, while New Year’s Eve is about yet more indulgence! Make the most of your time over Twixmas in 2023 in Cornwall, feel a little healthier and ready to welcome in the new year.
You could go for a brisk countryside or coastal walk which will reinvigorate you. The health benefits of being near the ocean are often mentioned these days. Inhaling the ozone and watching the rise and fall of the waves and hearing the rush of water across the sand, develops a sense of calm that is hard to find in any other setting.
You might say ‘ I can stay at home and watch a film!’ but what are the chances of your film being interrupted by the the doorbell, a meal needing to be prepared or house chores needing to be done?
Having hectic lives often means we rarely get to sit and watch a film, and less likely to see the end due to falling asleep of total exhaustion, or other home distractions. Twixmas in Cornwall is the ideal time to indulge in pure ‘you’ time – so isn’t it time over the 2023 Twixmas, to cosy up in a stunning Cornish holiday home or a luxurious hotel room and watch a Christmas movie away from all unwanted distractions? Let me help you find much needed ‘you’ time by planning a few days of pure indulgence in Cornwall next year.
If relaxation is your ultimate goal during Twixmas, take it a step further by indulging in a Cornish spa experience.
Let me help you choose your idea of a perfect spa, laze around in a dressing gown reading magazines, and enjoy the sauna, steam room or maybe a glass of Champagne whole in a hot tub overlooking the sea! Pure Cornish Twixmas bliss!
