Catherine O’Hara has passed away today. 
Both of Kevin’s parent are no longer with us. Will make me feel slightly melancholy when I watch Home Alone this Christmas.

I’m going to start Christmas shopping 
I’m going on maternity leave in September and won’t have the funds after that, so here it goes
I’m going on maternity leave in September and won’t have the funds after that, so here it goesI've started.. I started a similar time last year as September - January have a birthday every week too (!!!) & it helped so much to spread the cost.I’m going to start Christmas shopping
Congratulations on your impending arrival x
Seen a countdown today until the ‘ber’ months. Looking forward to Easter and love it’s more a big celebration now, but defo counting down through summer.
Booked our family Christmas outing for this year, theatre trip for a Christmas show 
Me and the old dear go to most of the local pantos. But for years our tradition is to go the Glasgow King's Theatre on Boxing Day.
When I went to book boxing day 2025 in December 2024, I couldn't get the front row (I need this cos mum is frail and can't easily let people in and out of rows) we had to go on Saturday 27 December 2025.
So for boxing day 2026, I've had the seats booked since the beginning of December 2025.
But to get a decent seat for pantos for in December, you need to have these booked early. So far, I've got 3 pantos, Tony Hadley's Christmas Show, Christmas at the musicals, a Scottish Christmas celebration with Edie Reader and Matilda all booked for late November and December.
I'm also going to book Step Into Christmas cos they're on sale.
And then I wonder why I'm broke!!!

Love this. I’m not into pantos personally but love how much they represent Christmas for people.
We went to the Christmas markets in Berlin in 2023 mid December and it was really nice. We went with our little boy who was 2 at the time. What I liked is you had the big markets but they also do smaller Christmas markets specialising in say food, crafts etc so when you need something slower paced you can go to one of those.Has anyone got any recommendations for a good Christmas market trip? We've done Lapland and I want another Christmassy adventureI am doing some research into Frankfurt as would love to go, I thought this would be the thread to ask.
Christmas prep:
Has anyone been to the Christmas markets in Budapest? I’ve seen cheap flights in December so tempted as I’ve never been to Hungary
Budapest is lovely even without any markets!
We went in Easter and it’s our favourite city break we’ve done. At Easter they had lots of outdoor markets in several parts of the city so I imagine they’ll have nice Christmas markets.
