Ok, so I’ll stop judging the people who already have their Christmas decorations up now…because today is December 1st.

I said it last year, and I’ll say it again this year – Edinburgh is one of the best places to live at this time of year. The German Christmas Market, the Christmas tree on the Mound, all the Hogmanay celebrations from 29th Dec-Jan 1st…I love it! I am going to work on getting plenty of pics this year, and may even go back to Spaghetti Bay to get a picture of THE house one night.

And will I record myself reading out ‘The Night Before Christmas’ in my Scottish accent as was requested last year? Um…is that not weird?

Here are a few photograpic highlights from Christmas/Hogmanay last year.
