Christmas Day, and Santa arrived on his sleigh...

...towed by his real reindeer!!

The Hilton Resort in Aviemore really went out of their way to make Christmas special for both kids and adults.

The atmosphere was magical for the children with many moments like this, and the great facilities and nice festive food enabled us to enjoy time as a family, without the usual Christmas cooking and organisation stress.

It's not the first time we have been away together for Christmas, and it definitely won't be the last.
