Christmas time in London

So, this week we went to what I think has been my favorite play all term, August: Osage County. The story was really interesting, the acting was amazing, and it managed to be hilarious as well moving and thought provoking. I was very impressed.
After the play Kat, Jen, and I went out to a pub for a little bit, The Princess of Wales.
Wednesday we went back to the Imperial War Museum, this time to look at the holocust exhibit. It was very informative and very heartbreaking.
Thursday I went to the tree lighting ceremony in Trafalgar Square. It was nice to walk around and see all the Christmasy stuff going on all around. Afterwards, we had a tree trimming party at the house, and we all made decorations for the tree.

Later that night Colleen, Ashley, Kat, and I went to a club in Shoreditch that was pretty fun, but extremely expensive. I bought a mixed drink for £6, about $10!
Yesterday I went to Camden Town again for some Christmas shopping.
After that I finally got to see Westminster Abbey, which is absolutely gorgeous. I was also there for the evening service and got to hear the chorus sing; they were so good!
Later Kat, Colleen and I walked around the Christmas market in Southbank. I love that there are so many cool Chirstmas things going on in London, but it would be much better if there was snow here!
