Winter solstice

Today is the day when daytime lasted the shortest all year round, so called the winter solstice. Seems like it's been age since I saw the sun at 6pm. I definitely miss that. It's the darkest day of the year... but the coldest has yet to come. Looking at the desktop gadget, awaiting this few following days are temperature subzero. Snow already fall a couple of times. Strange fact: it's not that cold when it's snowing. It's fricking cold when it's about to snow. It's the coldest when you wake up finding your feet is freezing but you still dont wanna get up to put on the socks. Dam heater in broadgate which is automatically turned off every 2 hours (who gives a damn about global warming anyway, I'm freezing here) A cup of tea from York is definitely lovely in the mid of the night and in the morn.
Christmas is coming ^___^ Here's another vid from last 2 weeks when we went to Lincoln to see the christmas market there. Still Scotland vids to come

Christmas is coming!

Despite the fact that the day is only around 7-8 hours long this time of the year, now is when the nightlife of the city becomes most vibrant. Places are filled with lights and christmas decoration waiting for the loveliest time of the year. People are on spending sprees finding gifts and presents. As night gets even colder than ever, the spirit of christmas feels just so christmas-y ahaha.
For those wondering if it ever snows here, the answer is hopefully yes. Some year it does, some not. Hopefully yes so I can go out and take lots of pics lol. Even if it does, it's gonna be just like for a few days. Put it this way, it's just like the number of days in Bangkok when it really feels cold.
For the past two weeks I went to two christmas market where there were stalls selling christmas and not so christmas stuffs. One in Birmingham and one in Lincoln, a city just an hour away from Notts. Here's how it looks like!
