Seven Years Between

In December 2010 I experienced my first Christmas in London, my boyfriend (now husband!) took me to Winter Wonderland for the first time.  What a wonderful day it was, and my first time at a Christmas Market, German hotdogs, chocolate covered everything, and that wonderful feeling of Christmas.

Fast forward seven years later and and we revisit that London icon of Christmas.  Its gotten bigger, the lights have gotten brighter, but the feeling is still the same.  We ate German hotdogs again, I traded in the chocolate covered grapes for chocolate covered pineapple and opted for a candy apple to bring home for later.

 2010 Winter Wonderland was quite small in comparison to the size it is now, we spent 3 hours and I think just about saw all of it.  There were more rides than I'd seen before and lots more food and trinket stalls. The crowds were larger, but it didn't matter. Walking hand in hand in it felt like it was just the two of us. We played in the artificial snow, drank mulled wine (well Mr. V had hot chocolate) and even danced when a favourite song came on.  All in all it was a magical evening.
