Holiday season is fast approaching with many of us enjoying time off from school or work over the Christmas and New Year period. Some of us will be going back to our hometowns to visit family or perhaps taking a vacation. Personally, I'll be leaving Malta for two weeks to go back to my hometown, Cardiff in the  UK. I already have my plane tickets and I don't have to worry about hotels because I'll be staying with family. I can't wait!

So how about you, are you planning to go anywhere this winter? How will you spend the Christmas period? Are there are places in your country where people traditionally go over the New Year?

While we are on the subject, complete the following travel sentences with the missing words. Please ask if you have any questions.
