Even if I came back to France to enjoy Christmas with my family, I attended all preparations in Scotland. Indeed, I had the chance to go to Edinburgh for the Christmas market and I also enjoyed Christmas decorations or the 'Santa Dash' in Glasgow.

I went to Edinburgh especially for the Christmas market that I had heard about. It was really impressive! It was like 'a little city in the city' where we could find an outdoor rink, dozens of stalls, a Ferris wheel, Christmas lights of all kinds and the caravan of a fortune-teller (Madame Irma? Maybe). All the city was also beautifully decorated.

Glasgow was also magnificently-decorated especially the Princes Square as you can see below.

But what marked my Christmas in Scotland is the 'Santa Dash', a run allowing all Father Christmases to redecorate city streets in red and white. What an event! 6000 participants was recorded this year...This is not a competition, some kids and dogs ran. Yes, they really did it!
To celebrate Christmas in Scotland, we organised a dinner with our French and Swiss neighbours. And because Christmas without presents is not really Christmas, we planned a lucky draw for the gift distribution.
Cheers!
