If that sentences starts a song in your head, then you know we have officially entered the countdown to Christmas.
Highlanders can get their carols fix in numerous locations in the area, with many live performances planned throughout December.
The Bowral Family Carols at Bradman Oval will be one of the larger carols events, with several activities planned for the evening.
While families enjoy refreshments from the Stumps Cafe, a snow-machine will be on site, as well as a winter wonderland children’s marquee, face painting, traditional Nativity Procession with live animals and performances by the Pointe Dynamic Arts Show Troupe and local musicians.
Aria award-winning special guests Colin Buchanan and Margaret Urlich will both perform, and the evening will end with a fireworks display.
The Carols by the Lake event is on again this year in Mittagong, and will feature a hot food stall run by Mittagong Anglican Church volunteers and Christmas cupcakes from the CWA ladies.
