Magical Christmas in Sunderland #LGChristmasChallenge2020 #StateChallenge

This post is part of @Velvel #LGChristmasChallenge2020 and also is part of the #StateChallenge Meetups from Team USA, hosted by @Kwiksatik and @Denise_Barlock.

Christmas festive time is indeed the most magical time of the year ! Across UK you will see it celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy. One of our most memorable Christmas was last year in Sunderland , UK. Sunderland is full of wonderful people and groups who are working hard across the Festive Season to ensure homes across the City have the best Christmas they can. Here is a Christmas treats in Sunderland Maps list that I created for the people to enjoy Christmas treats delivered at their doorstep this year (which in turn also helps the local business grow) as we know strict restrictions have been imposed across UK ! The Sunderland Council and team each year organise amazing event called ‘Festival Of lights’ during December to celebrate the Christmas in style !!! In 2019, this festival was held at Mowbray Park in Sunderland.

The Sunderland ‘Festival Of Light’ 2019 :christmas_tree: had below fun events/ shows:

  • Live music and Christmas Carols by choir
  • New light installations around the entire Mowbray park and City Center
  • Illuminated street theatre characters
  • Extra craft activities/shows for entire family
  • Play park with Christmas tree ,decor and carousel for kids
  • Food stalls with yummy festive options
  • Ice rink for skating-lovers and Tipi with festive barbeque food and drinks

It’s really amazing to see how beautiful is Sunderland during the Christmas ! I have made a video on it ,as all of it cannot be merely put in words or captured in photos ! So, here is a video showing how we celebrated our magical Christmas in Sunderland in 2019!!!

Be safe,keep helping local businesses and have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing new Year !!!

Hi @Globe_trotter_Ish

Finally a story from you!!!

Thank you for participating in #LGChristmasChallenge2020 .

I’m sure you were having a very wonderful Christmas celebration last year. And I also hope the same to you for this year as well.

Thanks for sharing the helpful list and the video, too. It feels like I’m walking by myself in Sunderland Festival of Lights 2019 :blush:

I saw some Disney Frozen’s characters from the lights, too! Olaf really made it! :snowman_with_snow:

Beautiful post and amazing video, @Globe_trotter_Ish

I love this Festival of lights, this is one of the things that I am missing this year. However I am happy that we both have materials unused from the last year, that is helpful to spread a bid of happiness in these difficult days.

Season Greetings Isha, I wish you will pass this very unusual period in a serene way. Happy Holidays with a small present: Nativity scenes in Italy
Hugs

Thank you @Velvel and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! I have been really very busy at home front so could not be much active here. Our 2019 Christmas in Sunderland :uk: was really magical with lovely Disney characters, my son loved the decorations and illuminations ! London Christmas is always exotic and magical, I have shared the London 2020 Christmas decoration pics on instagram. We couldn’t go out much this year due to further strict restrictions in London though !

Beautiful post with wonderful video @Globe_trotter_Ish

I really love to attend this kind of festivals but still hadn’t chance yet,

Last year we decided to captured the preparation for Christmas festival in Karachi, so we organized

A photo walk here. Photos are not in very good quality as yours, but still there was something amazing in the air there, something very pleasant. And I m sure and it’s showed by your photos that how much you were enjoying there.

Thanks for sharing Isha.
