Officially xmas in London

I’m not exactly the grinch, but i hate xmas carols. And Woolworths has been playing them since the start of November. But Trafalgar Square has officially started xmas 2weeks and 4days too early by turning on the lights tonight. Apparently its some big tradition, with the tree coming in from Norway each year. But I have to say it was quite unimpressive… It was barely even the hallmark-triangle-shape we have been sold to love. All 500 lights simply wrap around neatly.. Just sitting there… Constantly on.. No flashing.. No colours.. And of course it was raining! If its cold and wet it should at least come with snow!

There are some much nicer light displays around Soho and Angel which I might take photos of soon.
