Well you know Christmas is on its way when the selection boxes start to appear the week kids return to school in September! Gladly other Christmas milestones are a little more time appropriate, such as the annual Christmas light switch on.
This year Liverpool 1 will be leading the way and having their own switch on a day before the city's own event on the 19th November 2009.
18th November - Liverpool 1 - where we see the opening of Santa's Ice Palace and an evening of activities for more information please follow this link.
19th November -Liverpool City Centre - There is no official "switch on" however the city will become illuminated by the presence of the Snow Princess and as she walks through the city the lights will come alive, there will be no advertised time as to when this will begin as they do not want crowds to follow her around. There is no big celebrity pushing a button this year, however this particular spectacle sounds much better! Additional activities will go on throughout the city such as the unveiling of the Nativity story in Rapid Hardware and the Unveiling of the Christmas tree. This will be part of what has been named the "Winters Trail".
Go Penguins!
This year Lewis' will be displaying 7 of the community penguins, I am not sure if they will be permanently there however they are on display on the 19th November a sneak peek before the official launch on the 22nd.
