The month of December has been reinvented since Christmas came knocking on our doorsteps. This is the month where most food is consumed due to end of year parties for firms and Family gatherings. Kenyans love December holidays, because of these holidays, families and relatives are brought closer. Schools have closed while Kenyan parents are still going on with their work till a week before Christmas. It’s so interesting to see how Kenyans gear up towards the December holidays and knowing ourselves, they always wait till the last minute to make their arrangements. Most Kenyans make their way to their hometown for these holidays, while the rest make their way to our coastal towns to wind down their year. Kenyans have peculiar habits and year after year they always make the last minute plans on their destinations for their holidays.

Holidays planned last minute always ends up most expensive but the most exciting ones. For those who have already made their early booking, good for them because they will avoid the hustle of looking for tickets as well as accommodation. Mombasa and rest of the coastal town will get a fair share of local tourism. Our tourism Industry has suffered severely due to insecurity in our country and with the December Holidays this will bring much needed boost for our tourism sector. Not only the tourism sector will benefit from the December holidays but the transport sector will also have its fair share of cake since there will be a lot of traveling to various destinations within Kenya. To avoid having to pay lots of money for transport, a good suggestion for people is to book their tickets in advance. Some even go ahead and send their children first to their hometown to avoid the last minute rush.
The holidays bring lots of people together, friends are made and families are reunited but most of all people share. Because of the Kenyans busy schedule’s people don’t usually meet often as they would want.
