Grammar
Have I used commas correctly in these sentences?
1. My dad has taken a lot of time off of work since October, and I'm glad to have been able to spend a lot of time with him.
2. I have not been back to London recently, although I was fortunate to spend an enjoyable few days there with dad in early September visiting lots of galleries.
(Do I need a comma between "September" and "visiting"?)
3. The town is always decorated beautifully for this time of the year, and the atmosphere in the center and on the local beaches throughout December is fantastic.
Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply, it is greatly appreciated!
Regarding sentence number 3, would it be acceptable to retain the word "for" (contrary to what you have advised) if the preceding sentences relate to Christmas?
Thank you again, I am most grateful for your help and time!

Hello, Ruby—and welcome to English Forums.
No, 'for' is completely wrong for what I presume you intend.
The lake is beautiful this time of year = Every year the lake is beautiful now.
The lake is beautiful for this time of year= The lake is not usually beautiful now, but this year it is beautiful.
