Lights, Camera.... not much action.

Tonight we were in Aberdeen for the Christmas lights being turned on.

This is the third year we've gone and it's now part of our family Christmas 'Countdown'.

I blipped from it last year... a rubbish picture, see it here. The parade was better last year though, and the year before that was better still.

I guess it's the cut backs showing? Certainly something.

Seen on Union Street tonight, there was the usual drummers, Elves, Santa on a council truck ?!? more Santa's riding mopeds, Council truck snow ploughs, a giant teddy, children singing on a lorry, steel drummers and a retro bus. You see it in this picture.

I heard that it'll be riding around the city offering free rides to Christmas shoppers in the city this year.

I also heard 'Driving Home for Christmas' in a shop today too.

It's edging closer...
