Part of the joy of spending Christmas in London is the opportunity to explore the city as we prepare for the holiday. We began by attending a production of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It was a real treat to see one of my favorite stories, on stage, in the city where the story is set!

We spent two afternoons shopping at the exquisite (and crowded!) Camden Market and Borough Market, and acquiring a small Christmas Tree for our flat.
