Disney Plus | What’s happening in December 2021

December 2, 2021

It’s beginning to look like Christmas! and it is on Disney plus ! December is becoming a big deal in the streaming world and this is definitely no different. This month we see Hawkeye Series continue, Family guy, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, among new films like Rons Gone wrong, Last Duel, and Encanto. A host of good returns like Diehard, Day after tomorrow, and Juno among many others.

For me The Book of Boa Fett will be the biggest thing as I’m a big Star Wars fan and Boba has always been one of my favourite characters in the whole of Star Wars. However there is something for everyone including Christmas fans but even if your not there’s plenty of others like Jojo Rabbit, King Arthur and Life of Pi, for me i will be diving into Xmas films on Disney plus.

Lego Theme | Lego Winter Village and Christmas + #Giveaway

There are many Lego themes within Lego sets over the years, some come and go and some stay around forever. There’s branded ones, Film and TV versions, and even Lego’s own ranges that they have created, Plants, animals, Holiday themes, and all sorts. However one of my favorites is the Creator Expert Winter Village seasonal theme, essentially Christmas and the Lego Winter Village, and within that theme the modular buildings for the Winter Village or North pole.

Butlins Holiday parks are Family resorts located across the county and can cater to all types of people and families in a range of activities, they can differ from each of the 3 but essentially it’s the same concept.

Diary of our COVID 19 Lockdown | October 21

Last year in March I decided to do a Lockdown Diary, these were weekly but with the return to a bit more normality, kids back to school everything starting to open, I moved it to Monthly, and with us still, in and out of Lockdown each month was continuing through our journeys. It was October, normally a big month for us with Half term and Halloween which is one of our favourite times of the years, it was arguably the month where we were much more back to normality even if the country is up and down.
