[Ad- gifted experience] We are fans of pantomimes and get along to at least one every single year! This year, we were invited to the Harlow Playhouse to check out their Sleeping Beauty pantomime, which featured the dame that they’ve had for the last 10 years, along with Silly Billy, a fan favorite among the locals. Though we’ve been to the Harlow Playhouse for other performances, we’ve not done a panto there, so were all really excited!

They sort of make an experience out of getting these trees. Behind the actual bit where they are selling their trees that have been freshly cut, they do have their growing trees ready for people to take pictures in, which we hadn’t explored until this year!
[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to Christmas magic, one of the things that most people do is visit Santa! We have seen Santa at Winter Wonderland, Legoland and even at a little light walk display. but we haven’t really gone to a place that’s only for meeting Santa. Woolwich Works is hosting a bunch of different Christmas themed activities, from a small Christmas market outside the venue on the weekends, to Christmas performances, and of course there is an option to meet Santa himself.

Every month, Amelia and I go to our cupcake decorating class with Sweet Designs by Jennie to spend some one on one time together and make some sweet treats! Normally, we take classes that are both fondant and piping, but this time, we went to one that was JUST piping. The Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class is a little different from the standard class of six cupcakes, having some arts and crafts to do at the start and then lots of decorating to be done.
