We've carried on with some holiday traditions:
-going to get a tree together, walking it back to the house, (this time instead of down the hill in Bernal Heights, it was Battersea park)
-listening to Christmas music, (over, and over, and over)
-having a fun spread of hor d'ourves and champagne
Some do not quite match with living in London:
-the big open house tree trimming that we did each year in San Francisco
-going to a cathedral to listen to a holiday choir, (hmmm, they were all booked)
And some are new:
-visiting Oxford and Regents streets while they were closed to car traffic for the holiday shoppers
-associating the beginning of december with our decision to move here, and celebrating that first "can we live here" visit with a trip to the Fromagerie in Marleybone
-Christmas crackers - the first round were a dud and didn't even "crack", but we'll continue until we find some good ones and wear our crowns
The holiday season is in full swing - some things may be different...but once you turn off the lights, and sit and look at the tree with some holiday music playing...it's all oddly quite similar.
