It's traditionally that time of year when we all start getting busier.
With Christmas on the horizon and Halloween and Bonfire Night just a few weeks away, we'd usually be making plans to celebrate these occasions.
But with restrictions still in place amid the pandemic, families are limited in what they're able to do and what they feel comfortable doing.
While pantomimes and usual Christmas events have been cancelled and we're warned against trick or treating, many parents are wondering what they can do to make these occasions fun.
That's why we want to hear your views - and see what you're planning to do with your families this year?
Will you be celebrating Halloween at home instead? Are you hoping to spend Christmas with wider family and friends?
And what about Christmas shopping - will you head out to the Trafford Centre or Arndale, or a shopping centre near you, or will you be sticking with online shopping this year?
