Inform your neighbours of your plans, if they are staying home, they could keep an eye on your house for you.<\/li>\n<li>Water your plants, and your Christmas tree if you have a real one!<\/li>\n<li>Purchase an automatic timer and leave a lamp set to come on in the evenings.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have all the contact details you need when you travel.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have packed some \u2018must have\u2019 items that you may not want to be without! Take some medical provisions, because the festive season is a horrible time to be ill; cold and flu remedies, paracetamol, and something for the children.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t forget batteries and chargers. There are so many electronic devices around, but you don\u2019t want to get caught short with a flat battery, or a fancy new toy that can\u2019t be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s look at the festivities of some countries you may be interested in travelling to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>United States of America<\/strong> commemorates Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/festive-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/festive-02.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/festive-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/festive-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/festive-02-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanksgiving <\/strong>takes place on the fourth Thursday of November each year.
