Manchester Christmas Market 2012

After our failed attempt at getting to the markets on Friday (Cas got sick in the car), we finally managed to get there yesterday.

Cas and I stopped in Kendals (it'll NEVER be "House of Fraser" to me!) and bought some cool gifts for Gary. And then as the light faded, we hit the markets. I was armed (as always) with my camera and Cas's eye. Together we took pictures that represent Christmas to us. I love spending time with my son, and being able to share a passion is beyond AMAZING.

The first thing we came across was this cool Rudolph on King Street! Cas kindly posed for some shots for me (you can tell he's used to having a camera pointed at him!)



Whilst we were on King Street we had lovely music provided by this kind gentleman (who also posed nicely for a photo)!



A little further along King Street, we found these guys. Cas is desperate for one of the penguins! :)



Personally, I REALLY want one of these "Advent Trees"!


Cas and I really like these candles, though I don't think I could ever light them, they're WAY TOO CUTE!! 


The Manchester Wheel has vanished! Not sure where it has gone, but the replacement is very pretty!


We had a great time at the Markets, and it now officially feels like Christmas! 

If you want to see more pictures, then check out my slideshow. (The music is the wonderful Tony Bennet. You can keep Michael Buble, he's got nothing on Tony!)

Happy Christmas guys!

P.S it's my first time posting a slideshow, so fingers crossed it works. ;)
PPS so it helps if you export the slideshow with the correct quality, though apparently this means Blogger doesn't like it! Hence, YouTube.
