MAKE THE MOST OF WINTER


Winter is definitely here. An excuse to wrap up warm and drink hot cocoa. Oh and there is the small matter of Christmas!


Father Christmas is still a very real thing in our house. So there will be lists, mince pies left in the


fireplace on Christmas Eve and tired eyes battling to stay open in the hope of seeing Father Christmas arrive. Even if your children are no longer believers, Christmas is a special time where you can all take a few days to get out of the normal routines.


It is one of the privileges of living in South West London and Surrey – we have a wealth of theatre on our doorstep. Whether you prefer to take in some audience-participation panto or a quieter, more charming family show, there are plenty of options.


If you haven’t booked anything, there is still plenty of time. You can also enter our competitions where you could win tickets for a number of family shows this winter.


If you like our competitions, don’t forget to sign up for our monthly newsletter at www.timeandleisurejunior.co.uk/subscribe as we have some online exclusives coming up.


We are mindful of the effect that Christmas can have on our bank accounts. So we have also got some simple craft suggestions that you don’t need to spend a lot oF money on. Check out our lovely Christmas crown and paper angel activities.


Also in the spirit of financial prudence, we have got some tips on how to talk to children about money from local dad and chartered financial planner, Gavin Porritt.


In fact we are delighted to have so many local people contribute to the magazine. If you have a skill, hobby or can share an experience that would interest readers, we would love to hear from you.


It just remains for me to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2020 with the Spring issue.
