For a lot of people, going out to a café, garden centre or family friendly pub and having breakfast with all the trimmings, surrounded by beautiful decorations and topped off with a visit from Santa, has become as much of a tradition as dry meat and disgusting veg.
This can be a great experience for kids and make some amazing memories.
