How many Christmas events/holidays do you do?

everyone around me seems to be on holidays and days out?

We go skiing for one week and have one day/night out in London with a pantomime or theatre - I know we are very lucky

We regularly go 4 or 5 small local events, which are either free or cost a couple of quid, have a pre-Christmas city short break (just one night, generally, avoiding Christmas markets like the plague), and go to one bigger event - a light trail, or a show or such - which I pay for for my sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren as the main part of their Christmas presents.

Then we go away to somewhere in the UK for a few days over new year.

I do realise we are lucky to be able to afford these things; it wasn’t always the case.

We have a cocktail party for friends and neighbours every year.
We always go to a friends house party on Christmas Eve.
We have a girlie trip to London each year to see the lights. This year we included a cream tea during a Thames river cruise.
Pantomime
We don't usually go away but next week we are going to Krakow for five days.

We are very lucky.

With friends? One day/night out in November/December.

None and it’s just the way I like it.

We have two very young DC, so the last few years in December we’ve attended the local light switch on/christmas fair, seen a Christmas show/Pantomime & booked to see Father Christmas.

The light switch on is free & my DC are to little to be interested in the vendors at the fair, the show is at a local theatre (nothing fancy) the Father Christmas visit can be expensive (this year it’s on a steam train)

Neither DH or I are going to our Christmas parties, we both work in the public sector so it’s not paid for, it’s just not in the budget this year.

I mean as a family with dc

Still none.
