While many people spend the Christmas season slowing down, reconnecting with family, and stepping away from work, hospitality teams around the world are operating at full pace. Hotels and resorts remain vibrant and welcoming, front desks stay attentive, operations run with precision, and guest expectations never take a holiday.

Behind every seamless stay during this festive period are professionals who remain calm, focused, and deeply committed, often at the busiest time of the year. Their dedication ensures that travelers feel at home, even when far from their own.

This contrast between celebration and service inspired GCSTIMES creations: a series of creative wooden key cards shaped like capybaras. Known for their unshakable calm and gentle presence, capybaras are reimagined here as “hotel staff members.” Playful yet dependable, they quietly symbolize the qualities that define outstanding hospitality professionals — steady, composed, and reliable under pressure.

As 2025 draws to a close, this capybara series is our small tribute to those who keep hospitality moving through the holidays. To every hotel professional working behind the scenes this Christmas and beyond: thank you for being the calm in the chaos.
