CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS Christmas is just around the corner and there’s lots to do. But forget all the rushing around and put some time aside to enjoy some of these traditional festivities
THE BOXING DAY MEET
VISIT SANTA’S GROTTO
A childhood treat we all remember. There are many places to visit Santa, one of which is at Wistow Café Bistro. He’s very popular so it might be best to book. www.wistowgrotto.co.uk
A great way to get out in the fresh air a er the gluttony of the day before. The hounds and huntsmen are a magnificent sight on this most traditional of sporting days. The Quorn, Fernie and Cottesmore all meet locally – visit their websites to find out where and when.
DECORATE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE
Light the fire, make the mulled wine, heat the mince pies and start decorating your tree. Some people do it in early December, others not until Christmas Eve. But whatever your family’s ritual, it’s a magical time.
CHRISTMAS CAROL SERVICE
What could be more seasonal than attending a carol service at your local church? All are welcome and it’s a great chance to sing a few of your favourite carols.
