Ho Ho Ho!

Last Thursday marked the beginning of the Christmas season in Cardiff. Thursday is my busiest day at uni but I managed to catch the tail-end of the festivities that took place in the City Centre.

The Christmas lights were turned on throughout the City Centre and the temporary stalls which had been built less than a week before were all opened for business. There were also mini-shows, mini-concerts and displays.

 These stalls sell everything from Scottish food to locally-made Christmas and other goods.

The City was full of people in all sorts of costumes. There were mini-Santas, christmas tree decorations, wreaths, firecrackers and some other people/things I couldn't recognise.

 By far the best part was Santa's Grotto which happens to be literally around the corner from where I live. Hmm! All these things i failed to enjoy as a kid. The opening of Santa's Grotto was grand. He even had live reindeers! That just made my day. I'm not sure how Santa and his little helpers will feel when I turn up to sit on his lap and gist but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
