It's already December so we can't really put it off any longer - Christmas is coming!
Just because the weather has turned for the worse, you don't have to hibernate! There's still loads of fun festive events to keep you and the kids entertained in the run up to Christmas and the New Year.
Most of the Christmas lights switch-ons are already over (is it us or are they getting earlier and earlier each year?), but there are loads of other events happening, including Christmas Fairs, Ferris Wheels (these seem to be the "in-thing" this year), outdoor ice rinks and more.
We've already listed over 200 events around the country and are adding more by the day.
Rather than trawl through a long list of them, Moley has tried to make things as simple as possible for you to find something near you.
From the list of 2009 Christmas events, simply use the "tag cloud" at the top of the page to narrow down the list and find events you are interested in.
Probably the quickest route is to click on the tag for the county you are in, or if you can't see it, try clicking on the region first (eg Scotland, Midlands, South-East etc...you get the picture).
We know there are hundreds more events around the UK so if one near you isn't listed, why not post info about it yourself? Follow this link to the Community events forum and click on "Write a new Post". You'll need to register to submit a discussion board post, but registration is free and should take no more than 60 seconds.
Go on, you know you want to...
Have a great time and enjoy the run up to Christmas!
