2 years ago we took the DC (who will be 12 and 9.6 this Christmas) to Bluewater Winter Wonderland. They had a carousel, ice-skating (which we didn't do) Santas Grotto and loads of Fairground Rides. DCs loved it.
Last year we went to Hyde Park but getting home was a nightmare due to the heavy snow (very pretty though TBH)
This year Bluewater are doing a "Christmas in New York". We won't go for the Santa Grotto, mine are too old now.
Can I sing "Fairytale of New York" in a drunken Pogue-ey fashion round Bluewater NY?
