I've eaten my body weight in mince pies, drunk enough mulled wine to flood Cornwall and have battled my way through the Christmas shopping hoards. But something is still missing...my vocal chords have been given a work-out while I warble away to 'Last Christmas' and 'Baby it's cold outside' but there has been a distinct lack of caroling to my Christmas build up this year.
Luckily, St. Paul's is here to answer my festive prayers and is hosting a free carol service with unticketed entry on Sunday 23rd December from 4pm. Expect all the golden oldies, 'Once in Royal', 'It Came Upon a Midnight Clear' and, my personal fave, 'Hark! the Herald'. Get there early and come ready to belt those beauties!
At last! Christmas is here and what better way to celebrate than with a glass of mulled wine, a cheeky mincey P and a Narnia-esque
journey through a magical wardrobe into a snow-filled cinematic festive
extravaganza?
Following the rip-roaring success of their summer programme, Pop-Up Screens is bringing Christmas to Brick Lane by hosting a series of festive films including my personal faves: Home Alone, Elf, Edward Scissorhands
and the Nightmare before Christmas to name a few. With three screenings
a day from 18th December until 23rd December, tipples including mulled wine and regular (or ‘pimped’) hot
chocolate and festive decorations adorning every inch of The Dray Walk
Gallery, The Cinema in the Snow is sure to get every child (both inner
and outer) in the mood for festive cheer.
Tickets are available here, and although they're a bit steep at £14, it's only Christmas once a year!
