All Things Christmas in Ballymena

How long have you lived / worked in the Ballymena area?

I was born in Ballymena and have lived here my whole life. I started working as an apprentice barber and then over time built up my clientele and opened my own business, Laird Law Male Grooming.

Are there any festive events / activities in Ballymena you are looking forward to this Christmas?

Every year we take the boys to meet Santa in the Tower Centre and then treat them to hot chocolate and crepes.

Do you have any Christmas traditions?

Every year my eldest son Toby puts the star at the top of our tree. We all put our matching Christmas pjs on and watch a Christmas film and then before bed we read A Night Before Christmas.

In the shop some clients bring in their own beer they’ve made and we have a drink together.

What is at the top of your Christmas list this year?

I have everything I need but the Cool FM cash call would be good if Santa can pull some strings!
