The Duke and Duchess finished their royal duties for the year last week when they attended a board meeting with Prince Harry for The Royal Foundation. They then treat their staff to a traditional Christmas lunch at Bumpkin in South Kensington. In 2012, they hosted a Christmas lunch for their staff their too.
Generally, the Royal Family all gather at Sandringham for Christmas and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined them there in 2011 and 2013. However in 2012, they spent Christmas in Berkshire with Kate's family due to her Hyperemesis gravidarum.
It is thought that the couple will spend Christmas at Sandringham from now on because they have finally finished renovating Amner Hall which means that Kate's family can stay with them over Christmas, but they can still spend Christmas Day with the Queen and the Royal Family, as is tradition.
Christmas is an even more special time when you have children, because there are so many more exciting activities to do. William and Kate took Prince George, on Saturday, to meet Santa Clause at 'Santa's Magical Journey' in Thursford, Norfolk.
Santa's Magical Journey
They spent just under an hour walking round before George met Santa and was given a wooden toy train. No photographs where taken, as this was a private visit and the locals, like in Anglesey, seem more than happy to accommodate and protect the family.

On Christmas Eve the Duke and Duchess will spend the day at Amner Hall, however they will go over to Sandringham in the evening for the traditional present opening and dinner.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to attend the Christmas church service on Thursday morning and are also thought to be taking Prince George over to Sandringham on Christmas Day to see the other members of the Royal Family.
It has been reported that the couple will host the Queen and other members of the Royal Family at Amner Hall for dinner over Christmas.
I will be back either later today or tomorrow with any Christmas updates on the Duke, Duchess and Prince George.
