Holidace insight

December is festive and social, but heat, closures and holiday pressure make it uneven.

December is warm, festive and uneven. Early December still has jacarandas and social energy, while late December becomes holiday-sensitive with closures, dinners, New Year plans and heat building. It can be fun, but it is not as clean as spring or autumn.
