Winter - Creating new traditions

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way: the great holiday traditions are back! At Hertel, we cherish them and look forward to them all year long! Here are a few ideas that can inspire you to create new traditions of your own.

Turkey... again?

Tired of the traditional turkey? Why not replace it with another hearty, flavourful dish, like fondue? Everyone eats at their own pace; there's something for every taste and dietary preference; and with so many different ingredients to choose from, there's no redundancy between your many holiday dinners with family and friends!

Not another gift?

We're pretty sure you've already received an item that, once unwrapped, has only served to collect dust. Nowadays, we want to be ecologically conscious and find THE gift that will be sure to please. Material goods aren’t always the answer. How about tickets to a show, a visit to the spa or a cooking class? In short, something that allows you to spend time with your loved ones and to create new fond memories.

If you're ever looking for something to offer your hosts, try giving a cutting from your favourite plant or a homemade meal that can be kept in the freezer for a lazy day.

Let's also remember that gifts are not necessary. A card full of thoughtful words is, in our opinion, the most meaningful present of all.

On that note, we wish you a happy holiday season. Health, happiness… and cleanliness!
