Singing Christmas Songs

Dear Everyone,

a very festive weekend has passed and on Sunday I'll finally make my way home to Germany for Christmas. Of course I can't come home with empty bags. That's why on Saturday I went Christmas shopping on Oxford Street and Regent Street. I knew it would be crowded and unnerving, but I did it anyway. Now I have most presents and only need a few more little things. I think nearly everyone in London is in a christmasy mood, because we saw a lot of people wearing Christmas jumpers, silly glasses or hair accessories and there were about one hundred Santas riding bikes along Oxford Street. 

On Sunday myself and two other Aupairs met to go see the exhibitions in the Serpentine Gallery and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery. After a delicious lunch we made our way to the Royal Albert Hall to join a Christmas Carol Singalong. We thought it would be a formal concert, but it was one big party. The choir and orchestra were incredible and everyone singing together just felt amazing. Especially after they played Let It Go and Snow Is Falling. Those were my favourite songs. I nearly screamed along, not being the best singer. But it was just too fun. Also there were people wrapped in Christmas lights or decorating their seats. They were just loving Christmas. Also the Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful arena and worth seeing from the inside. 

I'm still hoping you're all having a wonderful time too. 

See you!
