JustFly’s guide to spending the holidays abroad

Submitted by Bert Maxwell on Thu, 12/03/2015 - 00:24

It’s that time of year again where the weather turns cold and we crave nothing more than a warm beverage, thick socks, and good company. But for some, the winter holidays are a time to flee from the cold and into the warm embrace of tropical southern climates. Though a tan in January is something to be envied, JustFly thinks that for the 2016 holiday season, travelers should set their sights on spending the holidays in Europe.

A Jubilee is a joyful time for Catholics, a special year for forgiveness, universal pardon, and remission of sins. The Jubilee is personally marked by physical passage through one of 7 Holy Doors in the world. It is a time of pilgrimage, for to pass through the Holy Door is to go through a rite of passage. The door is open to all persons of good will.

Some of the most recognizable abbeys and cathedrals in the UK are visited often, but taking some time to visit other abbeys and cathedrals provides you with a chance to see a variety of less crowded places. During my time in London, I saw three abbeys and two cathedrals. Why should you make time to explore abbeys and cathedrals? You have the opportunity to enjoy history and see it come to life. You won’t want to pass up the chance to experience a unique part of the United Kingdom!

As autumn turns to winter in Scotland -- a transition which certainly happens during November -- days become shorter, temperatures fall, it may begin to snow, and that snow, already in place or oncoming, may begin to stay around longer. There are changes in the quality of light as the sun hangs low in the sky, and at night stars shine brightly.
