It was an unplanned outing, but no one can't resist the first day they lighted up the Christmas light , right? And it surprised me when I saw parents taking their children to see the Christmas light and carol in the town, the buses were all full by 6 PM. Everybody went out, and surprisingly, nobody's staying home that night. It was so festive in town, that's the reason why !
We went to the city centre and saw hanging decorative lights everywhere . Then headed to Oxford castle for night Christmas market, it was wonderful. Crowded (of course!) but manageable, there were traffic polices everywhere, again with the decorative lightings, and also very fancy stalls selling fancy things - clothes, gloves, boots, paintings, ornaments, just name it ! But I couldn't stand the smell of hot/warm wine. It's everywhere, I guessed its a tradition to have it, and to keep their bodies warm. But nevertheless, I fulfilled my wish of having a nice, warm Gingerbread Man :)
The market was so carnivalesque. It even had children's-mini-theme-park in there, and ornamental-huge-flashy paper dove and swan (I understand why the dove is there, but swan?) . Any-hoo, I think I will enjoy my first English Christmas here. We'll see how it goes !
Enjoy the heavy-loadsss pictures xo
PS: Minus the light and the Christmas hip, I hate Autumn-Winter season. I'll keep wearing the same, fugly coat with wet boots. So, I shall wait till Spring-Summer to wear colorful dress . No update for what-I'm-wearing blah blah .
Loue,
