The great thing about this is both of you have something to look forward to everyday. Make this a tradition.

2. Romantic Paper Chains on your Christmas tree. In a colorful strip of paper, write down the qualities you adore about each other. Then glue each strip until it will make a long chain and have it wrap around your tree.

3. A romantic Christmas love letter. Instead of giving an ordinary card, why not make a letter of lovely sentiments about your loved one. Make your words count this holiday season.

4. Have a slow cruise around town sight seeing the wonderful Christmas lights and decorations, take pictures of each town you have gone to.

Taking a Holiday in Lytham St Annes

Comments Disabled

Lytham St Annes is situated on the beautiful Fylde Coast in Lancashire. The town is famous its Victorian heritage, and the town grew in popularity as a holiday destination for the well-heeled folk from the inland towns and cities of the industrial north.

Lytham sits alongside its rather noisier neighbour, Blackpool. Blackpool of course needs no further introduction, apart from to say that in recent years the town has undergone somewhat of a revival. The football team are sitting high in the premiership, and although the efforts to bring the supercasino to Blackpool ultimately failed, the town still has grand visions for a renaissance for much of its more salubrious areas.

But back to Lytham St Annes. The town has long been a haven for the retired, looking to settle down after a working career, in the quieter and refined surroundings of this picturesque place. Lytham is famous for its shopping and boutique stores, as well as its bustling cafe culture. St Annes is more of a holiday destination, boasting a wealth of quality hotels and holiday accommodation.

In particular, many of the St Annes hotels can be found along North Promenade, either side of the old Victorian pier. A lot of the hotels in St Annes cater equally well for families and business functions, although in line with many of the prevailing trends in recent years, many of them have had to move with the times and adjust their service offerings accordingly. A number of them have moved to exploit the wonderful array of golf courses in the area. Others now feature leisure facilities and spa packages.

Local hoteliers understand their market however, and pricing and facilities are always competitive. Hotel owners Lytham St Annes operate in a different environment than their counterparts further along the coast in Blackpool. Blackpool hotels very often rely for their trade in the peak summer months and the illuminations.

Lytham St Annes continues to thrive as a destination for holiday makers and day trippers alike, and with such a fine range of hotels, shops and attractions right on its doorstep, there is no reason why this shouldnt continue for many years to come.
