Today was the start if the Christmas season in Oxford! To kick off the holidays, Oxford had a Christmas Festival full of free activities and cultural enrichment for all ages. It also was the start of the Christmas lights being turned on throughout the city, so a couple of my flatmates and I decided to go check it out!
We started the night off getting some dinner at a burger place, which was already putting out holiday promotions! We then went to the Ashmolean, the art/history museum.
At the Ashmolean, there were many different stations and activities to do throughout. We were able to see various carol and choir groups singing christmas carols in different styles, there were games set out for all ages, skits being performed, and my favorite: Christmas crafts from around the world!! We tried to see as much as possible, though it proved difficult since there were so many different things to see and do and so many people there. We ended up watching the Russian Christmas carols, the Christmas sing-along, and the Cabaret. We also made German and Mexican decorations for our kitchens!! It was a very productive evening and a great start to my holiday season!
