Santa Run

This week John took part in the annual Santa Run in Edinburgh. It was a fridged morning around 20F. Once we arrived we found that the running trail was covered in ice, so it turned into a "be careful" Santa Walk. They continued to make it very clear that it was a Santa WALK for liability reasons. There were around 300 Santa's and several little elves on top of Santa backs. It was quite enjoyable for John, but Brandlyn froze all of her extrimities. The most unusual part of this event was the Santa Piper Band.

Week's Highlights

Cannon from the Castle pointing right at the Christmas Market.

A fire alarm went off while we were at the Castle so we all had to get on the grass.

This is the Highland market at the Christmas Fair.

This was taken on Saturday after our first night of snow. 

Saturday night we disregarded the warnings to stay indoors to see the fair and markets all lit up.  At a whopping 20 degrees, definitely worth it!

Today on our second day of snow, we had to celebrate!

This is the Grassmarket area.  It is georgous in the snow!
