A Hindu family in the UK has been opening their shop on Christmas Day for the past 23 years to provide companionship to locals who might otherwise be alone during the holiday. The Patel family, who run the store in Seaton, Devon, offer free mince pies, sherry, and coffee to visitors. Their tradition began in 2000 when they noticed that some community members had nowhere to go on Christmas. The Patels' gesture has been warmly received, with many locals expressing gratitude for the sense of community it fosters.
