What ages. Mine is 16 so revising for his mocks in jan. but I’m guessing you mean younger.

Visiting kids science museum
Possibly a theme park though unlikely due to weather
Playing lots of board games
Probably visit a chateau or 2

Going to visit in laws for a few days, then friends for new year. Other then that nothing, we like to just chill out and let kids play with their presents.

Off to Switzerland and Germany.
The dc don’t know yet, we fly Boxing Day evening and we are only going to tell them in the morning.
Doubt we will see any snow but I’m still really looking forward to it

Mine are 14 and 16. Throw food into their ravening maws, try to ignore the stink eye, sympathise with them about their annoying mates, and ridiculous amounts of study and escape into town every so often without them.

Greenbutterlfy566 · 15/12/2019 07:50

Does anyone do Christmas things after Christmas?

Off to Forest Holidays for 3 nights at the end of the holiday. Cannot wait, 4 days of peace and quiet with no work, walks in the wood, hot tub and laying around.

Dogsaresomucheasier · 15/12/2019 08:20

We are doing a stately home with grandparents, recovering from mocks by having a crowd of mates over for films and pizza, building lots of Lego, eating too much, going for walks because we’ve eaten too much and trying to support the eldest who has not done her mocks yet.

Rockbird · 15/12/2019 08:31

Cinema, walks, visiting family and lots of downtime at home as we don't seem to get much these days.
