Christmas in Old Town.

Last Saturday was the traditional lighting of the Old Town Square Christmas Tree. This year's tree is a 22-meter, 100 year old spruce. A brief presentation by Pavel Bem, Prague's mayor, officially opened the Prague Christmas Markets. Apparently they are some of the best in Europe? Old Town Square was packed. However, I think this is the first time ever where there were less people gathered around the Astronomical Clock then gathered in the actually square itself. I felt like I was seeing the eighth wonder of the world.

Sorry I started filming the first video a little too early. The tree does light up halfway through, I promise.
