And that busy festive season is now upon us.
The parties will depend on each person, the gift shopping will be an ongoing process over the next few weeks.
So that leaves the question of where to go to be on song with a carol or two.
As is the case most years there is never a shortage of caroling options in the Southern Highlands.
To help you choose an event that best suits you we have pulled together a list of the Christmas carol events we know of so far.
However, if you are planning to Deck the Halls with the sounds of Christmas tunes at another event in the Highlands tor you are planning an event then please let us know so we can add it to these details.
