We’re half way through December already and ever closer to the big day! We hope you’ve managed to keep warm and upright in this frosty weather.

December may seem like an odd month to think about your summer holidays or a UK holiday home. Here’s some December themed myths and legends to keep in mind this month if you are thinking about a holiday home, and just to keep you entertained before Christmas!

1. ANIMALS CAN TALK ON CHRISTMAS EVE

A WOODLAND holiday home could prove interesting in December…

There’s an ancient European legend that states that animals can speak in human language on Christmas Eve. The myth may have its roots in paganism, much like Christmas itself, or it may come from the animals in the nativity bowing to Jesus at his birth. This legend appears in a variety of myths and tales across history and media, from the Christmas Carol “The Friendly Beasts” to a 1970’s American animation “The Night the Animals Talked”.

So, if come late December the animal kingdom can communicate with us in full and friendly conversation, it’s doubtless the animals who inhabit the wonderful woodlands around Caldecott Hall Country Park will be happy to tell you that it’s a really rather lovely spot for humans too. In fact a Tingdene holiday home at Caldecott Hall Country Park brings you lots of creature comforts. If you see what we mean.

There is access to loads of golf, and as a Tingdene owner there you qualify for some serious discounts at the leisure club. That means you get to enjoy the jacuzzi, pool, and and restaurant. It’s a perfect woodland setting within easy reach of the coast and the Broads. And it’s very peaceful and tranquil - the animals are very quiet. as they only talk to you on December 24th, of course.

2. DECEMBER 28th IS THE UNLUCKIEST DAY OF THE YEAR

December is a great time to plan your holiday home future - just NOT 3 DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS

It is very unlucky to begin any work whatever on this day.
— William Brockie in Legends and Superstitions of the County of Durham (1886)

Only four days after the animals have spoken up, and it might be best not to talk to anyone. Just stay very quiet. Why? Because December 28th is considered to be the unluckiest day of the year.

December 28th was once known as Childermass, the third of three feast days immediately after Christmas Day (the Feast Day of the Holy Innocents), associated with King Herod and commemorating the slaughter of young male children of Bethlehem in an attempt to destroy Jesus. Thousands of years may have passed since the origins of this story, but there’s still a superstition about the day being less than lucky.

However, your luck is in with a holiday home at Tingdene South Shore. It means you’ll be close to the lovely town of Bridlington, but secluded in 18 acres of tranquility. It’s a quiet but friendly place. It’s exactly the sort of place where you can plan your holiday home breaks way into the future, and there’s lots of time to plan. One day off won’t be a problem, so just don’t do anything on December 28th. Best to be safe! 

3. IF SNOW FALLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY, EASTER WILL BE WARM

PLAN YOUR EASTER HOLIDAY HOME BREAK IN DECEMBER

So why plan your Easter holiday home break in December? Well, ancient predictions state that if snow falls on Christmas Day, Easter will be warm, green and sunny. So, while others would be happy to see a white Christmas, for the traditional reasons, you can see the snow and smile because you know that your Easter is going to be marvellous.

What better time to go east than at Easter? And where better to have a holiday home than at Tingdene North Denes. It’s the uk’s most easterly caravan park and a truly wonderful location. A holiday home at Tingdene North Denes means you’re able to enjoy so much of Suffolk and Norfolk. From Southwold to the Broads, from Great Yarmouth to Ness Point. It’s all there for you. All year round.

4. IF HOROSCOPES ARE YOUR THING, THEN A DECEMBER BIRTHDAY COULD MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS

If you’re born in December you could be born under one of two very different star signs. Before December 23rd means you’re a Sagittarius. Those born on December 23rd or later have the sign of Capricorn.

If you’re a Sagittarius, you’re said to be energetic and idealistic while also generous and open-minded. These are ideal qualities for a Mablethorpe Chalet Park holiday home buyer. Full of vigour and ideas and dreams, you’ll love the Mablethorpe mix of heritage and up to date attractions. That beautiful balance between the sights and sounds of Skegness and the majesty of Lincoln.

If you’re born under the sign of Capricorn, then you’re said to be ambitious yet realistic, persistent yet practical. The ideal quailities for Broadlands Park and Marina holiday home owner - enough of a dreamer to be planning ahead for a lifetime of holidays and realistic enough to see the financial sense of it. Bold enough to sail the Broads in a boat and realistic enough to know that you must make time to chill. In the bar. Or the pool. Or the sauna. You choose.

5. December is a good time to dream

If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there’s some way to do it.
— Walt Disney

Because Disney was born in December. And Disney knows a lot about dreams.

If your dream is to keep your static caravan holiday home but have it in a different location, then Tingdene might just be able to wave a magic wand for you. If you’re fed up with high fees and you’re wishing that your static wasn’t quite as ….static, there is a way to make the move.

Moving your static caravan to a Tingdene park is very easy. You’ll have loads of help with arranging the logistics and as soon as you’re settled you’ll see the benefits of lower running costs, and a really fair and transparent relationship. For a start you don’t pay for facilities you don’t use. If it all sounds a bit far fetched go and check it out. After all, December is Disney’s month, and you know what they say about Disney. ‘It’s where dreams really do come true’.
