Hello, all you festive folk!
This is my first foray into the festive section, and I'm hoping you can all help me :)
I lost my job due to redundancy a few weeks ago, so money is going to be a bit tight this year. Fortunately I saw it coming and did the DCs shoppIng early so that won't be affected, but the usual breakfast wIth Santa, pantomimes etc will be difficult to manage.
What I do have this year is time - I've never not worked and my job was a demanding one - so I intend to use it wisely as no doubt come next Christmas I'll be back in a job (currently 5.5 months pregnant so nothing in pipeline)
Anyway, I'm looking for fun ideas to make this year special for my 8 and 3 year olds. I've already 'borrowed' the advent calendar idea with fun things to do each day - can anyone else recommend lovely ways to make this year memorable without throwing a lot ofmoney at it?
Thank you, and thanks for all the fab ideas on here
