Birmingham Christmas Market
Welcome to my 6th day of Blogmas!
I don’t know if I have ever
spoken about it before, but I live in Birmingham, the UK’s second largest city.
It is an incredible place to live, despite its reputation, and I absolutely
love it here.
Like most UK cities, it lights up
at this time of year and suddenly becomes really busy with lots of shoppers, both
resident and tourist, who come to sample some of the magic of this beautiful
city. One of the biggest attractions of Birmingham at this time of year is the
famous Frankfurt Christmas market, which arrives in early November and stays until
just before Christmas day itself. For those who live here, it is an amazing
tradition and signals the start of the festive period. For the thousands who
come to visit, it offers so much in terms of festive gifts and treats, as well
as all the fun and magic of Christmas and even just a fun day out!
About three weeks ago, a group of
friends and I visited the market. I took a lot of photos whilst there and I hope
you enjoy!

| Mmm...Stollen cake! |

BLOGMAS MUSIC CHART
I only discovered that there was
a Christmas version of today’s song just a few years ago, but it is a good
track. Although not intended as a Christmas song originally, releasing it with
a Christmas video and interpreting it to be about the nativity story has made
this an iconic piece of festive music. Most people in the UK will know that it
was covered in recent years for a TV advert, so it will be familiar to you,
even if it is not this exact version. Here is my choice at number 16 on this
chart, Frankie Goes to Hollywood with their version of The Power of Love.
