What Christmas looks like in Oxford

There is something simple, old-fashion and beautiful about Christmas in Oxford. Here are a few of my favorite images of the season:

The Great Hall of Christchurch


Christmas decorations on the trees in the Botanical Garden


Christmas lights on the High Street...


...and down Cornmarket Street


A store window on St. Michaels Street


The tree in a quad at Christchurch College

We haven't had any snow in Oxford yet but we have had rain

Lights by the covered market

The tree at the Bodliean Library quad

Runners from the Santa Run walking down Turl Street

Hand painted ornaments hanging in a stall at the Christmas Market on Broad Street

The Christmas Market 

The windows of Boswells

 The Snow Queen welcoming her guests at the Yule Ball in Oxford's Town Hall

The Christmas Carol Service at Christchurch Cathedral

  1. The bicycle is the most unusual holiday light display I have seen! It's fun to peek at your world. Thanks for sharing.
