Christmas In Hythe, Hampshire.


Have A Perfectly Proper Yuletide;
Christmas Happiness Running In Streams This Morning Amid Sleighbells!

Happy Christmas from Hythe, Hampshire.

The picture at the top shows the Hythe Christmas Tree at 16:48 on Friday 30th November 2012, decked out for the annual Mistletoe Fayre. The highlight of the Mistletoe Fayre is a rooftop rescue of Santa by the local fire brigade, cheered on by crowds of children, but this year the weather was too wet and windy, so the children cheered as Santa bounced about in a boat on Southampton Water, clinging on with one hand and waving with the other!

The picture below shows St John's Church, Hythe, at 16:42 on Sunday 9th December 2012. I had intended to take photos of the Christmas Tree Festival Christmas Trees inside the church, but I was stopped short by this imposing view of the church and the trees set against the evening sky and, of course, the beautiful stained glass windows.
