    I love taking the kids to the Christmas market with family, having a toddy a bit too early in the day and then snuggling up at home (with a new castle view to enjoy this year!) watching a movie.

    I love when the city comes alive with lights, it adds a touch of magic when walking around the markets with a glass of mulled wine.

    I’m not really one for the hustle and bustle of the town but I love to see the Christmas Tree on The Mound. Amazing gift to the city and so much effort put in to make it stand proud.

    At night: the twinkling tree lights in the Grassmarket, Princes Street Gardens and St Andrews Square – they are so pretty and it must have taken ages to get them to follow the intricate lines of the tree branches. Then tasty goodies from the German market..
    By day, Edinburgh looking like someone has sprinkled icing sugar over it viewed from the frost-coated Braid Hills.

      The lights really are amazing – and they seem to suddenly appear! (And , of course, all the delicious snacks on offer at the German Market – we never leave empty handed!)

    Ice skating followed by mulled wine at the German market – tried it the other way round one year and it wasn’t a good idea!

    I love all the decorations that are put up throughout the city of Edinburgh. The lights on George street are usually excellent.
