๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Thank you Leeds Playhouse for a wonderful production of the all time classic festive story A Christmas Carol โœจ

Our 7 and 12 year olds were really engaged and enjoyed the whole evening ๐Ÿฅฐ

There were a couple of slightly scary bits for the youngest - nothing a hand squeeze couldnโ€™t help - and both kids were thrilled that Scrooge at one point said 6/7 ๐Ÿ˜†

Go along and enjoy the ultimate in Christmas spirit - on until January 17
