The festive season is right around the corner and we are all getting ready for it. Planning trips and calculating the presents budget, thinking of new recipes and a million other things.
We also prepare ourselves and our homes for the ice, the snow and the freezing temperatures. But are we the only ones that are getting locked in and ready?
