The Spirit of Christmas Market ended on Sunday. This was the longest market I have attended, nine straight days including late night shopping on Thursday, boy am I exhausted! The weekdays were pretty quiet and not helped by the continuous wind and rain. Fortunately the last weekend was very busy, with lots of people Christmas shopping. Overall, I think the Christmas market was a success. The wooden chalets, Christmas lights and a number of different street entertainers including Russian Snow Queens on stilts, a brass band and opera singers helped create a festive mood.
On Saturday evening, there was the parade of lanterns. This is an annual Christmas event where hundreds of children paraded through the Royal Square and St Helier with handmade candlelit lanterns. This is a lovely Christmas spectacle and great fun for the children.
