I'm heading to London and am looking forward to seeing The Priory, a comedy about life, love and retro board games. Angela
This December I'm looking forward to Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved book Where the Wild Things Are. Whimsical, magical and worth checking out for the soundtrack alone. RJI

Seeing the new and last series of Gavin And Stacey on Thursday on BBC One, watching the new Mighty Boosh Live Future Sailors Tour DVD, seeing Robinson Crusoe at the King's Theatre, Reading Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and listening to Vampire Weekend's new album, Contra. Jennifer T
I'm looking forward to Edinburgh's Torchlight Procession on 29 December. Thousands of people gather on the Royal Mile holding flaming torches aloft as they make their way up to Calton Hill for a spectacular bonfire and fireworks display. We take flasks of mulled wine to keep us warm! Catriona
I've just got tickets to the Dunedin Consort & Player's recital of Handel's Messiah on 23rd December to put me in the mood for Christmas.

On the 31st I'm avoiding Princes Street Gardens (even though Madness is playing) and the Hoog @ the Assembly Rooms - I'm going to the Motherfunk Hogmanay club at the Voodoo Rooms instead. Spex
