Circus Christmas Lights...

"You want to display, your charms, on this bright night
You want to display, your charms, over these circus christmas lights"

Deacon Blue, Glasgow and Christmas. Perfect combination!!

Glasgow is a fantastic place at Christmas. But it truly comes alive when the sun dips down and the lights come up. Welcome to Glasgow "The Night"...



The sun just going down behind a Buchanan Street full of Christmas shoppers. The Christmas lights on and the Tron Church in Nelson Mandela place all lit up. If you are a regular reader of this blog then you will know how much I love this building. Probably my favourite in all of Glasgow. And all lit up on a Christmas night? Perfect.



And these photos are probably most people's favourite Christmas scene in Glasgow. The curtain of stars hung over Royal Exchange Square. Often wonder why they don't just leave these here all year long as they just make this square so magical.


And couldn't leave our old friend Arthur out of the celebrations!! Merry Christmas Arthur!!



Now back into George Square again. Two things in Glasgow were Christmas for me as a child. The front window in Lewis' in Argyll Street and the Christmas Lights in George Square. Lewis' may be gone but the George Square lights have never been brighter!!


In my first ever tour on this blog I talked about a UFO landing in George Square. Seems it has finally happened!! Actually this is what happens when you play about with buttons on your camera you don't understand!! But I liked this photo anyway!!


The massive Christmas tree in front of the always stunning City Chambers.


Night skating. What REM do in the winter perhaps when the water is frozen?



The helter skelter and carousel really come to life when all lit up!! Circus Christmas lights!!


A finally the very centre of Glasgow. The Sir Walter Scott column in the middle of George Square all lit up. I love Christmas in Glasgow.
Sending a Merry Christmas from Glasgow to wherever in the world you are reading this!!

Be well, be happy!!
