“O Holy Night is one of our absolute favourites and Grace has been singing Away in a Manger for weeks leading up to Christmas,” she said.
“Ezekiel and Grace have been belting out all the Christmas carols they’ve been learning at school and sing them all year round, so this is the high point of the year.
“It’s a great tradition for families to do it all together and remember the real meaning of Christmas.”
