I
t’s December and with a
month full of festivities and holidays
– there are lots of reasons to
be happy! The city is abuzz with excitement and glitzy decoration – and so is my household. Most children
love this month and I, too, can’t get enough of it. I’m a sucker for an over-the-top decorating session, a carol
service, a Christmas fair, a mug of cinnamon-infused mulled wine, a visit to Santa’s grotto, and a good old
Christmas craft or baking sesh with the kiddos.
Lots of you will be jetting off for warmer climes to take advantage of the holidays, but before you do, we
have a
magazine brimful of ideas
for you to enjoy. This issue is all about how to make the most of
our wonderful city with your children at this time of year. We have pages full of ideas of where to go and what
to do to
soak up the festive spirit
throughout December, what to do if you’d rather be wrapped up at
home with toddlers, what to buy the family and even some recipes for some
yummy dishes to bake
and share
.
Wherever and however you’ll be celebrating the festive season, I wish you one full of merriment and cheer
with those who are nearest and dearest to you.
Hold tight, loosen those waist bands and indulge – see you next year!
Happy reading, Happy Hannukah, Happy Christmas and a Happy
New Year!
