I've been thinking about Christmas for the last few days (I think it's allowed now we're half way through November) and deciding what activities I think would be good to do with my 2 young sons especially the 2 1/2 year old! Since he was born we've had a couple of Christmas traditions, we go and watch the Christmas lights switch on in the local suburb, visit Santa at the local Christmas fair and visit the Manchester Christmas Markets!

My mum has been saying that she'd like to visit the markets but hasn't been able to, so today Mum and Dad are making the trip up to come and see them for the first time. We'll go again with Daddy in December!
So what traditions do you have/did you have when your children were small. If you don't have children I'd love to know what makes the festive season special for you!
