Festive Season in London
In and around United Kingdom
This is our first Christmas away from home and we are going to try and document as much of it as possible. So far it has not been all that different to Canada, but I anticipate as the big day nears it will get more intense here. The celebrations are really just kicking off tonight with the lighting of the tree in Trafalgar Square.
Rain for Christmas should be interesting. Hopefully everyone in Calgary enjoys their white Christmas.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays.
