HOW THE LUCKYTRIP TEAM DOES CHRISTMAS
Like the rest of you, we’ve spent the year interrupting each other on Zoom, mastering top-half dressing, and seeing more of each others bedrooms than is strictly appropriate…🔎
But now we’re getting the gang back together (virtually) to chat about our favourite ‘C’... not Chuck Norris. It’s CHRISTMAS!!! 🎄
Here’s how the LuckyTrip team is spending the big day this year...

Here’s how the LuckyTrip team is spending the big day this year...
Kirk - CCO (that's Chief Commercial Officer, look it up)
London, United Kingdom
Weirdest thing about your Christmas?
“HAPPY CHRISTMAS! HAM AND EGGS, PORK AND BEANS”
Somebody send help... 2020's broken Kirk’s dad.
Every year he sings/shouts this from bed on Christmas morning. Nobody knows why. If he’s putting in a brekkie order he’s going to be disappointed. Kirk’s serving up a festive classic...
Bran Flakes.
Best bit about the Christmas period?
Kirk and his (much) better half are hosting Christmas this year. BIG adult moves. The day itself is a classic Crimbo cracker of pigs in blankets, walks in the park, and cremating the turkey. RIP little guy.
BUT Christmas Eve is extra spesh. Kirk’s Cambridge crew (lads lads lads) come down and play the annual football match. This year because of C-who-shall-not-be-named it’ll be a socially distanced round of golf instead. With a cold bev on the 19th hole.
That's a golf joke.

Lara - Customer Happiness
Zurich, Switzerland
What so special about a Swiss Christmas?
Shovelling mince pies in your face and disinheriting your siblings over a game of Monopoly? It’s not the Swiss way.
Lara’s Christmas is more wholesome than Mary Berry with a basket of kittens. It starts with the Christmas tree. You buy yours from a dodgy looking bloke in an abandoned car park… Lara digs hers up from a nearby forest and then re-plants it. Why? Because her dad doesn’t want to ‘kill’ a tree. The legend.
Other than that, it’s “puppy walks and pony rides and maybe going to the alps for a day to do some skiing”.
YOU WIN, LARA. You win.
Any present you’ve got your eye on?
A direct quote…
“Love and affection… No, really I’m hoping for a nice jumper I saw online”.
She also “wouldn’t say no to a date with Harry Styles”. So if any of our readers know Harry, hook a sista up.
PS. We shit you not, this is Lara's actual dog.

Mathis - Writer
Berlin, Germany
What does your Christmas usually look like?
If we weren’t all living in the end times, Mathis would be on his way to the airport daydreaming about cocktails on the beach with his fam…
And this year?
Instead, he’s hunkering down in his apartment, shaking his fist at the cold Berlin weather, and reading up on lockdown regs to see if his mate from Texas is allowed to come over.
If they get the green light? It’ll be a Crimbo party for two fuelled by all the mulled wine.

Roy - Designer
Where will you be for Christmas?
“Back in South Africa with the family for my sister’s wedding. Soaking up the sun, watching whales, and sinking G&Ts....”
Are you trying to hurt us, Roy? BECAUSE IT’S WORKING.
Pre-Crimbo for Roy will mean celebrating his sister’s wedding in the Boland wine region. Then it’s back home for lots of swims, braais (BBQs), hikes and, “vibes.”
Vibes indeed.
What present have you got your eye on?
Roy’s a selfless guy. He really isn’t asking for much this year…
Just the conservatorship of Britney Spears ending. #FreeBritney
