How many activities have you/will you be booking for Christmas?

I’ve booked Lapland uk mid December and pantomime Xmas eve

I've booked a weekend away mid Dec to Xmas markets, a light trail, panto and will book santa grotto visit when it becomes available. Usually book something for dd and her friends to go to as well

We’ve booked a local polar express type trip, and a light trail event. Also going to the panto. Writing it out though I think perhaps I’ve gone a bit OTT 😂

No such thing as OTT at Christmas IDontDrinkTea 🤣

Havent booked anything yet... would like to book pantomime and want to see santa but that will just be the free shopping center one where you just turn up.

We're cutting right back this Xmas so it's just carols at the royal Albert hall, Christmas at Kew, 5 nights in Lapland, skating at Somerset house, winter wonderland at Hyde park, Xmas wreath making, breakfast with Santa and the panto at Birmingham hippodrome.

Currently have Disney on Ice in early Dec and a panto just before Christmas. Thinking I might add a Christmas lights display at a local garden. Plus an overnight with my work friends, and a trip to London after Xmas to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which is a gift. It seems like a lot now it is written down!

We´ll go and see the festive sand sculptures on a local beach on boxing day, as we always do, blow the cobwebs away.

DS school usually have half price tickets for the skating rink, so we might do that ovet the holidays.

Oher than that, making gingerbread cand watching the Muppets is all we manage to fit in, Xmas is a busy time for all of us (we´re teachers).

DenholmElliot1 that made me laugh!

We are going to The Flight before Christmas. It's new this year so I hope it's good.

I might take my eldest to a panto. That's a nice idea. Thanks!

We will just do a couple because the kids’ last day of school is the 23rd December so there isn’t much time.

We're having an afternoon in Edinburgh, Afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria and a mooch round the Christmas market.

That'll be it for this year.
We'll just have to come up with some free/low cost things to do at home/nearby

Santa at a local grotto - 4th Dec
Panto - mid December
Polar Express - 22nd
Ice skating - 28th

Aside from that there'll be school stuff, probably carols at a church. We are going into London to see the lights on Christmas eve and having people round on the 23rd, a couple of family get togethers.

Really want to see the new Matilda film coming out at the cinema too.

Probably a festive meal, mooch around markets and a panto. Eldest is 14, youngest 10 so not so into the traditional activities now

We'll do a trip to the garden centre at the end of November too - love their Christmas displays! The kids can pick a new bauble each.

The panto probably and then free stuff like making decorations with pine cones.

Emailed this morning to book brunch with Santa and waiting for tickets on our local steam train to be released. Other than that it will be the village tree lighting and carol singing and the Christmas Eve church service.

🤣

Father Christmas on the 17th
Panto on Boxing Day

I’m waiting to see what event the local National Trusts are doing and we may go there (we’re members) on either the Thursday or Friday before.

And I’ll book ice skating at some point.

So far have booked the pantomime for Christmas Eve. Will hopefully book Santa visit at a local farm park but they have yet to release tickets. May go ice skating between Christmas & New Year. That’s all this year, cutting back financially and also the kids are always shattered and grumpy by the time we get to Christmas so trying to relax a bit more, will see how it goes.

Panto and indoor sledging booked. Will book santa grotto when available.

DC are adults, so we are booking a theatre trip, dinner at a favourite restaurant and maybe cocktails somewhere. We'll go to some carol services too.

I've just booked a local NT house for the light trail, and PIL have booked the panto. Still got to book breakfast with Father Christmas at a local garden centre. That'll be it for paid things.

Does booking an Ocado delivery on Christmas Eve count?

Booked a light trail and a Santa visit. That's cost around £100 so won't be booking any more!!

I love Christmas so am fully booked up! We are doing:
Festive afternoon tea
Visit to Santa
Carols at RAH
Light trail

I have spent a small fortune but it is my fave time of year and my eldest loves it too!
