Christmas around Europe
Christmas reunites families around the world. It's a special time
Growing up in the centre of Glasgow. It was the highlight of the year.
We didn`t have much but it was magical.
This year <2020> sadly it`s going to be the worse ever but you have to make the most of it. Health comes first.
I have been to some special places at Christmas so
Join me as I show you around the continent during the festive time. Christmas markets started in Germany but Eastern Europe has some wonderful Christmas events.
Edinburgh and Glasgow have now their own markets.
