getting the christmas mood on

so the christmas lights came on. it was only yst that I realized why christmas is always associated with the christmas lights as i walked down george square. Never did it occur to me that the sun sets really early in the summer and upon dark, everywhere would look gloomy. But then one day, some guy thought to himself, what better way to get everyone into the festive mood than to put lights arounds around, symbolizing the christmas! and volia!

and i'm really looking forward to george square being transformed into an ice skating ring! think this would be a nice christmas here in europe, finally having the real christmas jolly mood around.
