How many times have we asked ourselves what was the secret to having a Merry Christmas? Are you among those who think that, as of October, there is no need for all supermarkets to be full of nougat and polvorones? Do you belong to those who have been wearing the complete Christmas outfit since summer? Or are you already stuffed with Christmas before it arrives? Whether you love Christmas or miss your swimsuit, we’re going to tell you the truth behind the secret of a good “Merry Christmas”.
Christmas food is always better
And there is also more and more quantity, because we all know that, at this time of the year, the table has to be filled until there is no more room for anything else. This happens especially with desserts, which are never lacking. It is true that if you start eating so much in October all this assortment of sweets, by the time the holidays arrive, maybe you will no longer feel like eating nougat, wafers, polvorones, chocolates, and all the desserts that, as we have been saying, you can put on a table.
Christmas with family or friends?
We know that Christmas is for being in the company of family, seeing Christmas markets, visiting different places, taking a Romanesque getaway, and many other things that we love.
When it comes to visiting interesting and fun places, some of the places we personally like and would like to highlight are:
La Fira de Santa Llucia, located in Sabadell as one of our offices where we are Metrecubic. This fair is held from the end of November until December 23. Thus, it has more than 75 years of history, and about fifty stands gather there every year. So, taking a walk around the stalls, we can find all kinds of Christmas things. From balls, ribbons, the figures of the nativity scene, fir trees (both natural and artificial), the well-known“caganers”,“poinsettias”, etc..
On the other hand, further north we have a very interesting market, it is close to the border with the city where we have another of our offices: Girona. We are talking about the Village de Noël of Le Barcarès. It is one of the most beautiful and largest Christmas markets in the south of France. It is the ideal place to spend a day with the family and children. You can also go with friends and find ideal gifts for Christmas.
Christmas decorations and events
Without Christmas decorations could we say that there is no Christmas? Now, have we just found the secret to a Merry Christmas?
It could be, but what is clear is that the Christmas lights and all the decorations around these festivities are amazing. Walking through the streets when it gets dark and seeing the lights shining on the streets, the atmosphere of the excited people.
Christmas gifts always with love
If you are one of those who love to give and receive gifts, you are sure to be as happy as a clam this holiday season. So if you are one of those who can’t stop giving illusion and get excited for the joy of a loved one, or for opening a gift, and that whatever it is you are going to shed a tear, we are sure that you will also find it hard to part with most gifts. And now they are no longer bought on the eve, but we take advantage of all kinds of offers, where you can keep all the gifts bought for months, because we all know that we have to have a place, safe and secret where to hide these objects until the expected magical night.
Of course, our storage rooms are a perfect option so that all those pieces of illusion can wait to be delivered without fear of losing them or being discovered, especially if they are larger gifts. They are watertight, secure and accessible 365 days a year, so you can enter and leave whenever you need to with just your access code. You can hire them from 15 days, which is enough time to be able to buy and store them until you need them. We have centers available in Empuriabrava, Girona and Sabadell. You can take a look at it and find out more here, it might be of interest.
And taking advantage of this, if your house is full of gifts and you want to move to a palace, since you will need all the space in the world, you can also count on us for the moving, since we are experts and professionals in this field. We take it to you and manage everything, without the risk of any gift getting lost or damaged.
From offer to offer and I buy because it’s my turn
As we mentioned before, as we enter November, we have all the shop windows decorated with Christmas, offers of all kinds such as Black Friday, lights everywhere for those who miss the sun, etc.. In the end it’s all very nice, although if you are not one of those who love gifts and everyone is going to buy like crazy compulsively. Sometimes, we don’t even know what we are going to buy, but perhaps this is the secret to a Merry Christmas, buy no matter what, but who. So if you are one of those who go to anticipate the gifts of “Tió”, Santa Claus, or the Three Wise Men, maybe you are already a little late.
What is the secret to a Merry Christmas?
But back to Christmas, in the end what is the secret to a Merry Christmas really? Well, the truth is that there is no single secret for everyone. Whether you’re a Christmas fanatic who lives this season with total fervor, or a hermit who hides from the cold until it passes, we all have one thing in common: everyone has it their own way. It might seem obvious, but it’s clear that no one has the perfect way to celebrate and enjoy Christmas, but living every moment to the fullest, whether with family, alone, with friends or the love of your life, is what makes the difference.
However you are, we at Metrecubic wish you a Merry Christmas!
