Christmas Advent Celebration

1st December marks the beginning of the advent calendar and the turning on of the Christmas lights in Old Town Square plus the start of the Christmas markets in Prague. So along with 40,000 other people we packed into Old Town Square at -5 and watched the evening unfold. Corban needed to go toilet when we were totally packed in but we managed to wiggle our way out of the crowds, which was lucky! Taylor and her friend stayed up the front, it was so packed that she couldn't take her hands out of her pockets. We watched from a block back and without any pushing. We went back on Sunday on our way to the Jewish Quarter and will return probably a couple of times over the next few weeks, it's really festive, heaps of crafts (we are going to find an angel or star for the top of our tree and let the kids pick out a decoration, a little more up beat than Farmers where they usually choose something!) also lots of street food. Today we ate some roasted chestnuts.
