Last year I did a summary of programs and films over the festive period (mostly terrestrial) and some of you have asked for it again as you found it helpful to have it all in one place. To be fair, a monkey could do this (going through the Radio Times) picking a few programs for the kids, alas – there are no monkeys to do it, so it’s down to me. (We do it anyway actually, so I am so happy to share it with you!) Be warned however, I am no TV Critic so don’t blame me if some things are rubbish!
Anyway, I hope you find it as helpful as last year.
Just quickly – yesterday’s post has had great feedback form you – thank you!! If you missed it you can catch it here 8 Tips For a Happy Christmas With Your Other Half

So these are what have caught my eye. I am especially excited about We’re Going On A Bear Hunt as that book is a firm favourite in our house.
We are going to try and remember to Sky Plus this and a few other favourites before we head off for Christmas as I forgot last year!
I know most people have Netflicks, Amazon Prime etc for movies on demand but I think Christmas is the one time of year it is good make your children wait for something special on TV.
What do you think?
Anyway, have a very Happy Happy Christmas! xx
