Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2022! I hope you all had a fab time over the Christmas period and have managed to spend some time with the people you love.
For this week’s blog, Kimberley and I asked you to share your favourite moments from this Christmas with us on Instagram, using the hashtag #CatkinChristmas, and you didn’t disappoint! We’ve loved seeing your festive highlights; here are just a few of them!
For Unto Us A Child is Born
Hold your horses, we’re not talking about THAT baby! For Anita and her family, this Christmastime was indeed about celebrating the birth of a newborn baby! Huge congratulations Anita, on the birth of beautiful baby Reggie!
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
For some of your small people, this Christmas marked their first encounter with Father Christmas; we loved these pictures of Tommy and Ayda meeting the man in red!
Oh, Christmas Tree!
We have absolutely loved seeing how you decorated your homes for the holidays – look at these cutie pies and their Christmas trees!
Baby It’s Cold Outside
The winter weather hasn’t stopped you lot from getting out and about and enjoying the nature all around you. You’ve been visiting forests and meeting reindeer, and getting better acquainted with the types of animals you might just have found in a stable all those years ago!
You’re the Gift that Keeps On Giving
There is nothing that beats the excitement little people bubble over with when it comes to the prospect of opening their Christmas presents on Christmas Day, and it’s been so lovely to see so many of you sharing these moments with us. Here are just a few of your wrapping paper ripping snapshots...
Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime
Whether you and your small people have been baking, crafting, playing, reading, penning letters to Santa or just sitting back and enjoying the family time, you all seem to have really gotten into the spirit of the Christmas season; just take a look at these holiday highlights:
We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Somewhat unbelievably, it’s January (!!!) and that means that Christmastime is nearly at an end, so with that in mind – I couldn't think of a better way to round off this round-up than by sharing this lovely wishing wand craft from @playthetimeaway.
Here's wishing you all a happy and healthy 2022 with many, many more moments of fun!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
