The CHRISTMAS Holiday English Challenge
Turn Holiday Downtime Into Upskill Time
Introducing The CHristmas English Holiday Challenge
For those of us who quietly admit Christmas isn’t all glitter and joy—read on.
Because this year, it doesn’t have to feel that way.
Together, we can turn any Christmas funk… well, funky.
Your holiday
Your schedule
Your English Transformation
I’m an English coach specializing in helping you enjoy your English.
Now, I can’t fix rude uncles, burnt sprouts, or any real Christmas problems—but I do have a great way to make the most of those in-between moments that often feel wasted during the holidays.
Here’s my take:
Even if your Christmas is joy-filled, our usual routines come to a halt—mostly for good reasons (we all need a break!), but some of those routines keep us grounded (and, in my case, sane).
Favourite retreats are closed, other places are overcrowded, and getting outdoors takes a bit more effort when it’s dark and cold.
Calling Out Christmas Myths
What replaces normal daily life is often imperfect—and for many women, just as task-filled. Behind all the nice moments the season brings, there’s often you giving so much to make other people happy.
So-called “time off” gets swallowed up by busywork: last-minute shopping, hunting for the end of the Sellotape (or even the Sellotape itself!), or making packed car pilgrimages to relatives.
It’s all a bit of a rush—only to find yourself waiting around for someone or something.
Days merge into one another during downtime when you either can’t or don’t want to work (and that’s fair!).
But does that mean letting it all go to waste?
I say no.
Join the CHRISTMAS Holiday English Challenge
And turn that weirdly empty, hanging-about time into something fun, meaningful, and just for you.
About the CHRISTMAS Holiday English Challenge
No, no, no—it’s not English lessons.
It’s not work, and there’s no schedule. No class. No Zooms. No obligation.
The CHRISTMAS Holiday English Challenge is an invitation to fill those silly little moments of nothingness with meaningful conversation and connection—whatever that looks like to you.
You share your world, your day, your moments—and I’ll share mine using voice notes, messages, short videos, or video calls.
When, What & How
The Challenge runs from December 24th to January 2nd.
Like our usual Holiday English Challenge, I’ll send you a daily prompt to talk about.
Read it in the morning, consider your reply (this is where the magic of making English feel connected to you happens), and send me your response during any downtime.
If you only have 2 minutes, no problem. But if your family is watching that Christmas movie again, connect with me, and we’ll enjoy a longer chat.
I’ll be on WhatsApp to commiserate over a delayed train, celebrate that your child loved their gift, and laugh at how wildly inappropriate your uncle was at the table.

About Us
Blue Noun Language Hub is me (Ruth), Kenny, and our friends.
I’m a creative English coach with over 5 years of experience designing bespoke English Immersion Holidays in Scotland (plus 12+ years in ELT). I’ve helped countless people go from English learners to confident speakers.
My holidays are designed to build confidence through REAL conversations in supportive, immersive environments. And yes — they’re brilliant! I see real transformation when people relax, have fun, and start enjoying English.
I know real-life, contextual practice is key to making English feel natural. Don’t worry, you don’t need me physically there with you (that’d be weird!) to make your holiday help your English.
Find out more about the Blue Noun Team.
You may not know us yet, but you will soon.
REAL language practice is our speciality.
We’re constantly looking at ways to make English positive and enjoyable, so that you actually want to do it (instead of feeling guilty about not doing it).
Unlike our language holidays, with this challenge, we don’t need to be in the same country as you, we can use your phone to give you a taste of English immersion from afar.
Enjoy your holiday & gain an English transformation!
