Get into the Holiday Spirits in London this December

Posted on December 10, 2021November 11, 2023 by Jupiter

*AD/Collaboration, but as always, all views are my own.

There are tons of things to do in London, especially around the holiday month! We love getting into the Christmas spirit by visiting London and checking out all of the different places within London to explore. If, unlike me, you live a bit far out from London, you should consider traveling into the area with the VIP pass, which will give you massive deals on places to stay, which can really make a difference in your experience. The VIP Pass gives you 7d/6n FREE hotel stay as a sign up bonus when you purchase the premium membership pass. But, let’s get into some of the fun things that you can do in London in December.

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is an annual festival that happens right in Hyde Park in London. It’s a massive Christmas-themed market, fair grounds, and festive area. You can meet Santa there, eat a bunch of different foods, ride some rides, and pick out some Christmas gifts for your loved ones. We always go to Winter Wonderland in the month of December. Ensure that you do pre-book, though, so that you can make it in. There are different priced tickets, and if you go midweek in the morning, it’s actually completely free to enter Winter Wonderland, which can be a big help to your budget.

We Completed Blogtober 2021!

Posted on October 31, 2021November 1, 2021 by Jupiter

With the end of Blogtober this year, I feel the end of a lot of pressure! I am so glad we took part – and look forward to Blogmas, but finding ourselves creating a post every other day about Halloween, while balancing the world opening up and work, has been a challenge as always. I really enjoyed Blogtober this year, though next year I hope to include more crafts and recipes. It was an interesting October, as the world had just started opening back up, and with a few different events to attend, a bunch of new pumpkin patches, and a few parties / weddings / other family occasions, the month was jam packed!

Autumn Sightings – a collection of Fall pictures

Posted on October 29, 2021December 13, 2021 by Jupiter

Autumn is a really fun time of year – nature changes, bringing together warm colored leaves, lovely shades of red and orange, and a bunch of new fruits and vegetables that are ripe and growing. When I think of autumn, I think of the leaves – pile sand piles of leaves, crunching under your feet. This had me wondering what others thought of and could find around them that really represented autumn. I have actually gone ahead and asked a bunch of other bloggers to share an image they took that reminds them of Autumn, and to share a bit about them, to see what everyone has seen this autumn.

The picture I choose was all of our feet in the autumn leaves. There is something amazing, as I said, about autumn leaves. We have shared a lot of photos over Blogtober of all of us doing Autumn activities like pumpkin picking and haunted trails, but there hasn’t been a celebration of crunchy rings before. which is why I choose it.

A Day Out at Capel Manor Garden Halloween Festival

Posted on October 27, 2021October 28, 2021 by Jupiter

We have been out to several pumpkin farms at this point, but were still looking for Halloween related events to get the kids to for the October term. Capel Manor Garden is a local, huge, historical garden that we’ve always wanted to go too, and they have a Halloween Festival, so it felt like perfect timing. Capel Manor Garden is a huge location, with over 30 gardens, a zoo, various activity buildings and so much more on offer.

A Day Out at Cattows Halloween Farm

Posted on October 25, 2021October 26, 2021 by Jupiter

Though we have already taken the time to get our pumpkins and carve them up, we are still checking out Halloween activities, which include pumpkin patches. As we were traveling quite far for an event, we decided to stop off at Cattows Halloween Farm – a pumpkin patch and Halloween farm that we have never visited before. This place was big – like massive – and could have taken much more time then we actually had to spend there, which is very good to know for next year!
