We are both self-proclaimed Christmas lovers. Carols, christmas trees, the coming together of friends and family, and all that it means.

But that’s not the case for everyone. Financial stress and family friction are just two factors that see a lot of people dreading this time of the year.

Longevity cultures do special occasions in an extremely ceremonial manner. They are revered and treated with due respect. We touch on this in the context of our own upbringings on this Christmas edition of 100 Not Out.
