Christmas Villages are OPEN!
Nobody does the holidays like Edinburgh, I have to admit. The entire city turns into twinkle lights, music, ice-skating rinks, and joy! (And tourists - for good reason.) The Christmas villages officially opened on Sunday, although a few folks got to try out the skating rink early.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u9QmjrjsKTimhZBawO4GPNSZFWELjGZ6DlURSaN3FX-pzNutXRPA3Zoz9IoWe0FEyHWb6lwzwAMwxz5awqVx4Qz-wvrxNVzfNIsepWTn2j3Fn_=s0-d)
Once again, the ice-rink was built around the sculpture in the center of St Andrews Square. The pop-up bar serves hot chocolate, mulled wine and spiced cider. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tWcnO8JiCCB6h5IBYt3WlVB1l5pylbRubsvAD2xmsDJf09tJwhMpwZ4w9_OkTq6XO5LMzeTNPnJV0kck-xu7n5a8Sd6P9LW3xN51yptNsfJdEw5w=s0-d)
Down on Princes Street, the ferris wheel is up, along with other rides like the chair drop - all alongside the Scott Monument. Pop-up bars are everywhere, bagpipes, and squeals of laughter. It's impossible to be in a mood when walking down Princes Street during the holiday season. It turns a simple trip to the pharmacy into a joyful occassion! ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_senXSgbYJxzbAZVmm22bEFU4q2HDpL2_i32GDdeakeiyv9WNyQVyo86fm01Js385VyLd_bURMvHxGsTk_yvt_lPrfYeIMnKi8oA_YHFAA2MQ3WZQ=s0-d)
This year, I hope to go up on the ferris wheel - more soon!
