December is not an homegenous month. Weather may be similar any time. Basically highly variable. Winter coats one day. Swimming the next. Luck of the draw. Crowds depend on the date. The week before and after Christmas and others either side dependent upon the actual day of week Christmas falls is maddness. I’ve never been outside a school holiday (Feb and May half terms, Easter, August and Christmas), which are all busy. Christmas week is like nothing I’ve ever seen though. If you can get up super early (parks can open at 7am) you can still get a lot done but personally I’d never do it again. The only real Christmas gems for me were the Osbourne Lights (gone now).
