Christmas Eve in London, England



Dad and I got in to Heathrow Airport at about 7:15am on Christmas Eve. That afternoon Peter and Nat took me, Dad, Peter (Nat's Dad), and Kate (Nat's sister) to the Royal Albert Hall to see the Christmas Concert. It was very enjoyable to be able to go to the Hall, to see it, to be in it, after see it numerous times on TV.

Before the concert we arrived in time to take a few happy snaps of the Prince Albert Memorial (top picture) and one of the Royal Albert Hall (middle picture). As you can see in the top picture, there was actually some blue sky in ENGLAND during WINTER of all times! The bottom picture is one of the stage I took before the concert because I thought that it looked nice.

The musicians were dressed in period costume of Mozart's time (because they are the Mozart Musicians and Choir or something like that) and it looked really great and fancy. Wigs and all. They got us to join in for singing some of the carols which was fun because I was missing the Christmas Eve Carol by Candlelight at St. Stephen's (Martin Place) this year.

So, this was a wonderful treat on Christmas Eve, even though it was exhausting in some ways too.
