Sunday,
December
22th—
As
the
holidays
approach
and
the
world
softens
under
the
glow
of
twinkling
lights,
there’s
a
timeless
lesson
in
the
season
that
mirrors
the
quiet
elegance
of
tennis.
Christmas
is
a
celebration
of
harmony—of
giving,
connection,
and
the
joy
of
shared
traditions.
Like
stepping
onto
the
court,
it’s
a
time
to
be
present,
to
embrace
both
the
challenges
and
the
beauty
that
comes
with
the
moment.
The
holidays
remind
us
that
even
amidst
winter’s
stillness,
there’s
a
spark
of
warmth
and
purpose,
a
reminder
to
rally
together,
cherish
what
matters,
and
find
inspiration
in
the
simplest
acts
of
grace
and
generosity.
Cheers,
Clyde
&
Oliver

Glenapp
Castle
Ayrshire,
Scotland
|
|
Step
into a
fairy
tale at
Glenapp
Castle, a
5-star
haven
tucked
away in
the
stunning
Ayrshire
countryside
of
Scotland.
This
19th-century
Scottish
Baronial
masterpiece
offers
17
uniquely
designed
suites,
complete
with
period
furnishings
and
views of
lush
gardens
or the
shimmering
Irish
Sea.
Beyond
the
opulent
interiors,
guests
can
explore
the
castle’s
private
110-acre
estate,
indulge
in
award-winning
dining,
or set
off on a
Hebridean
Sea
Safari
to
uncover
Scotland’s
hidden
islands
and
wildlife.
And for
those
looking
to stay
active,
Glenapp
even
features
a tennis
court
for
serving
up some
royal
fun.
If
William
Wallace
himself
had
wandered
through
Glenapp,
he’d
have
dropped
his
sword
and
declared,
“Every
man
dies,
not
every
man
truly
lives,”
before
booking
the
4,500-square-foot
Penthouse
Suite,
complete
with a
private
sauna
and
rooftop
terrace.
With
luxury
this
grand,
Glenapp
Castle
might
just
make you
feel
like
you’re
winning
your own
battle
for
freedom—this
time,
with a
glass of
fine
wine in
hand and
a sea
breeze
at your
back.

Looking

your kid
behind
to
defend
against
holiday
robbers?

13,000-square-foot
Georgian
estate
is just
what you
need.
Built in
1928,
the home
exudes
timeless
elegance
with
European
plaster
ceilings,
a
walnut-paneled
library,
and
marble
baths.
Spanning

acres of
waterfront
property,
it
features
everything
from a
private
tennis
court to
a wine
cellar
and
music
room.
With its
sprawling

Kevin
McCallister
defending

this
estate
isn’t
just for
dodging
Wet
Bandits—it’s
perfect

parties
that

McCallisters
jealous.
The
12-acre
grounds
and
grand
interiors
provide
endless
possibilities
for
entertaining
or
simply
enjoying
quiet
solitude.
Just
don’t
forget
to check
the
attic
before
you
leave
for
Paris—you
wouldn’t
want to
accidentally
leave
anyone
behind!

Deck

don’t
forget
to
deck
yourself
out
first.
This
red
velvety

is
practically
the
modern-day
Santa
jacket—minus
the
sleigh
and
reindeer,
but
just
as
festive.
It’s
soft,
it’s
sleek,
and
honestly,
it’s
got
more
holiday
spirit
than
your
aunt
after
three
glasses
of
eggnog.
Whether
your
casually
strolling
past
the
Christmas
tree
pretending
you
didn’t
eat
that
last
cookie,
or
you
just
want
to
harness
your
inner

this
holiday
season,
this
top
has
got
you
covered—literally.
