I usually dabble with Australia day early in January - takes our minds off the cold weather. We do lots of barbecue stuff and talk about being warm again! This usually leads onto some stuff about going on holiday, but it really is up to the children.
Good luck with the new baby Watgem - I've just taken on a 7 month old and he's a screamer. 2 days a week, I listen to a baby scream... unless he's velcroed to me or moving in the buggy, he screams and screams and screams. He's such a sweetie when he smiles!
