The local Christmas Decorations in Hatch End were a sight to see this year and the atmosphere was otherworldly.

My neighbours, family and friends commented on their experience this year and their festivities.

My friends and family joined us for Christmas as we all sat around the table and shared the holiday spirit. My mother, Ester Mclavin, commented on her thoughts this holiday season, “Christmas felt amazing this year. Having our family and friends join in with the festivities and our local community made everything special”.

My friends and I went Ice Skating this year which was a completely new experience. The Ice Rink in Canary Wharf was full of decoration and my friends and me had a great time.

Alex Smith commented on his first experience of skating, “I was completely terrified to skate but with everyone having such a great time I had to join. I ended up having so much fun and I highly recommend anyone to go ice skating.”

This year, my family, friends and I had the best experience during Christmas, we are looking forward to the new years as we plan on going to the Pinner new years celebration to watch the beautiful fireworks.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas this year with their community, I know my friends and I had a blast.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
