Our Daily Tips for a Successful Holiday Break
As accountants, we like to think that by using our brains, years of experience and fancy data we can predict pretty much anything. That was until a cabbage outlasted Lizz Truss as Priminister which threw our forecasts out of the window and remind us that forecasting the future is even something that the team here at Raffingers are still yet to crack.
At Raffingers, you’ll often hear us say that it’s crucial for business owners to spend time ON the business instead of IN the business but now,we are telling you to start preparing to spend some time AWAY from your business.
Engage with your family and friends the way you strive to engage daily with your customers or clients. Embrace holiday mode like you embraced a new piece of software that promised to make remote working totally stress-free. Relax in your loungewear the way you have probably relaxed in your loungewear every day since March 2020!
In order to ensure you have the best Christmas experience, here are some ideas to make yourself feel good this December:

*May be substituted for beer, wine or Cinnamon Butter Rum
Cinnamon Butter Rum? WHAT?! We thought you might ask...
Ingredients:
- 5g butter
- 2 tsp golden caster sugar
- 2 small cinnamon sticks
- 200ml spiced rum
Method:
- Gently heat butter, sugar and cinnamon until sugar dissolves. Stir in the Rum, pour into 4 heatproof glasses to serve (We’re forecasting a great night).
Ok, so we are nearly out of ideas (I personally have a very low-key break), however here are some free/cheap things you could do with your family, partner or friends:
- Go glamping in your lounge.
- Host a cook-off
- Winter walks through the forest (YES... more walks)
- De-clutter and load your unwanted items onto Facebook Marketplace.
- Beat the Guinness book of records for most chocolates consumed in one night (I attempt this most nights!)
From our team to yours, we hope you have an energising holiday break. Here’s to hoping 2023 brings better luck for everyone.
