- Christmas gift idea? We have scheduled skating sessions in January. If your child does not have skates they are welcome to borrow them from the school but the sizes might be off and they are a kijillion years old so not terribly warm nor comfortable. This is a good time to start looking in secondhand shops for something suitable as the school books skating time for all classes most every year.
