jQuery Parent & Children for SlideToggle

I have built a CSS Menu for a shopping site. The idea is the main category gets clicked then the slideToggle kicks in and loads the subcategories. I have the principles built and was looking at jQuery .children

However when I am clicking the link, Nothing is happening.

My jQuery is as follows :

$('ul.sub_menu').css('display','none');

$(".nav-list li a.clickable").toggle(function () {
  $(this).children().slideToggle();
}, function() {
  $(this).children().slideToggle();
}

My HTML Structure Goes Like This...

<ul class="nav nav-list">
  <li>

    <a class="clickable" href="#">Christmas</a>

    <ul class="sub_menu">
      <li>
        <a href="/~sweetdis/category/wreaths" >Wreaths</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="/~sweetdis/category/large-logs">Large Logs</a>
      </li>
    </ul>

  </li>
</ul>

Am I just missing something here?

Many Thanks

Because you use slideToggle for the children of the anchor with class clickable when there is no children of this anchor exist, you can use siblings instead:

$('ul.sub_menu').css('display','none');

$(".nav-list li a.clickable").click(function () {
    $(this).siblings('ul.sub_menu').slideToggle();
});​

Try this - 

$('.sub_menu').hide();
$('.clickable').click(function(){
    $(this).next('ul').slideToggle();
});

Or - 

$('.ulClass li a:first').click(function(){
    $(this).next('ul').slideToggle();
});

Working Demo

Nothing is happening when you click on clickable because it doesn't have any children
