Countdown To Christmas

Dear Everyone,

I am so happy December is finally here. It means everyone feels the Christmas spirit, there are a lot of Christmas Markets to go to and a lot of beautiful decorations to admire. That's why this weekend was an all around Christmas weekend. 

On Saturday Celine and I took the Tube to London Bridge and went to the busy Borough Market. It was a food paradise and a lot of nice sellers let us try some of their delicious products. Then we made our way along the Thames to Tate Modern, where a small but lovely Christmas Market is. After drinking Hot Chocolate and eating some sweets we went on til we reached Westminster Bridge, where we crossed to make our way to Trafalgar Square. Its Christmas Tree is a little bit disappointing, because it is leaning to one side and kind of slim. But it is a lovely present Norway makes London every year. 

From Trafalgar Square we went to Covent Garden, because I wanted to see the Christmas Train build of Lego bricks. We then went to Pizza Express before we saw 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - The Musical' at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. It was incredible. The songs are catchy and it is so funny. If you are an Au pair living in London, I definitely recommend going to see a play at least once. 

On Saturday we took the Tube all the way to North Greenwich, to see the Coca Cola Christmas Truck in front of The O2. They even had fake snow and free soda for everyone, which was fantastic. The O2 is huge. It's basically an arena and build around it is like a shopping center, but only with restaurants and there is a cinema as well as a bowling center. You can also climb over The O2, which is now on my list of things I want to do while I'm in London. Celine and I also had a really lovely walk along the Thames Path where you have an amazing view over Canary Wharf. Afterwards we warmed up with a White Hot Choclate and then went home.

I hope you're feeling all jolly and festive too.

See you!
