Hello everyone! It's Snowpea here!! LUT took me to London to see the Christmas lights this week. Everything was so magical and especially special as I'm celebrating my third birthday with LUT this Christmas. Yah!!! I'm a big girl now 😀
All the buildings in London are very big and tall. Since I'm just a little doll, I had to walk around everywhere with my head held up high to see things. Like this beautiful building lit up in green and red, even the buildings celebrate Christmas in London.
Covent Garden
LUT took me to Covent Garden, it's not really a garden. It's a big area by with lots of shops, and lots and lots of people. And of course lots of big tall enchanting Christmas trees. The Christmas tree colour fitted perfectly with my outfit and LUT took a pretty photo of me sitting on the tree, that's the first photo you see above.
Covent Garden had a very very big Christmas tree, so big that even when there were loads of people around it, it's still looks very big.
It has lots of sparkly lights, perfect for another photo.
Leicester Square
Next we went to a Christmas market in Leicester Square. Leicester Square is in the middle of central London and one of the busiest places I've ever been. Even LUT said she hasn't seen a place so busy for a long time. We had to queue to get into the Christmas market, luckily we didn't have to wait to long and LUT held on to me tight in case I got lost. Imagine what a disaster it would be to lose a little doll in a busy Christmas market in central London.
Once we finally got inside the Christmas market, there were people everywhere. I was very scared and we could hardly move. LUT had to edge slowly through the crowd.
I don't know how many stalls there are inside the market. It's a little difficult for a little doll who can't read, to find out much information. And LUT didn't know either. We saw a very busy stall with lots of lights and a soldier in the front. LUT said the soldier is called a nutcracker and is a doll like me. She also told me in German tradition nutcrackers brings good luck at Christmas, just like I do to her. Awh!! That's so sweet of LUT🥰
The stall sold sausages cooked on a big grill over coal, and smelled delicious. LUT wanted to get one to eat then we found out it cost £11 for one! That's a lot of money, even a little doll like me knows that! We didn't get it in the end.
Then we saw a toasted marshmallows stall. Yummy, I love marshmallows, they're so soft and fluffy and great to play with. I love jumping inside bags of marshmallows and then nibble them😋.
This stall gives you two big marshmallows on a stick and you can toast them over the fire. That sounds even more fun than jumping inside a bag of marshmallows. I just need to make sure I don't fall inside the fire. That would be an even bigger disaster than getting lost in the Christmas market. Then we found out one stick of marshmallows cost £5!! That's cheaper than a sausage but still a lot of money for two marshmallows. LUT said she'll get me two big bags of marshmallows instead. I prefer that better.
This is my first visit to a Christmas market. We walked around the market once, it didn't take long even if we had to fight through the crowds. Then we decided to leave. People were still coming in as we were leaving. And that's the end of my Christmas market visit.
The Now Building
LUT knew I was a little upset from the crowds at the Christmas market and said she'll take me to somewhere that she'll know I will love. She really knows me, and made the perfect choice. The Now Building has a massive indoor screen on the four walls and ceiling, and plays immersive shows throughout the day.
We watched one called the Butterfly Trail. It had colourful AR butterflies flying around a Peruvian forest against a soundtrack. It was very relaxing and calm, perfect after my crazy Christmas market experience.
Then we saw Emoji Shower : Christmas edition. True to it's name, lots of cute Christmas emojis dropped from the ceiling down along the walls. I wanted to reach out to catch them!! It's definitely the highlight of my day and a great way to round off my visit to London.
Love Snowpea
