El tiempo pasa muy deprisa y estamos de nuevo a las puertas de Navidad. En España, aún tardaremos unos días en encender las luces que decorarán las calles comerciales recordándonos que ya es el momento de ir preparando las fiestas navideñas y de fin de año.

En muchas ciudades europeas, como es el caso de Londres, la Navidad se celebra por todo lo alto y el encendido se realiza unas semanas antes que en nuestro país y lo hacen con una gran ceremonia social donde cuentan con invitados famosos y diferentes actividades lúdicas.

Este año la primera en engalanarse con luces navideñas ha sido Oxford Street, la arteria comercial más famosa del mundo. Y por otro lado, el pistoletazo de salida ha estado a cargo de la cantante australiana, Kylie Minogue, que ha encendido las 1778 bolas de luces blancas y las 445 doradas que decoraran a partir de ahora y hasta mediados de enero la mítica calle.

Desde el día uno de noviembre y escalonadamente otras célebres calles londinenses se sumarán al encendido cada una con una fiesta diferente. Este es el caso de Regent Street, que encenderá su iluminación el 15 de noviembre, o bien el de Carnaby Street, que dará luz a la ciudad del 12 de noviembre hasta el 3 de diciembre, día en el que Trafalgar Square se engalana con el gran árbol de Navidad que, año tras año, regala Noruega a los británicos como agradecimiento a su ayuda durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
