Seen a few of these now - absolutely fantastic.  We thought about doing it in Stirling City Centre but it takes a lot of organising even though it looks so natural.

Gota keep the shoppers from thinking about real life and spending their money.

To be fair though, brought a tear to my eye.

Fantastic way of using free labour to highlight the next deal you have for instore shoppers. ;)

Sorry, Baz, not with you there, can you explain?  To me it is about spreading the Christmas Spirit in a public place.

No idea why but now I have tears rolling down my cheeks........that was wonderful...I did wonder if police would move people on unless they have already asked permission, I suspect they did inform security!!!
Thanks!!

Sandy,
Its funny you should say that about tears. The friend who sent it to me said get your hankies ready.
It didn't have that effect on me but I did like it.

Permission is always required - we made enquiries (Stirling City Choir) but it was the logistics that beat us - having to take the morning/afternoon off work; babysitters/dog sitters etc.  We do a Christmas Carol concert early in December at the Church of the Holy Rude so wouldn't have needed any extra rehearsing.

That was great and made me very emotional, really wonderful even without actually being there.

I've seen both of these before but they still leave me feeling choked.  Thanks both of you.
