I still remember the 2008 Union Street Christmas Lights switch on that took place on 16 November 08. It was a part of the wonderful Aberdeen Winter Festival. The switch on was led by 13 years old Josh Smith and Lord Provost Peter Stephen. They were in a beautiful carriage that charmed everyone who has decided to visit the Aberdeen events. Josh was waving his magic wand to switch on the Aberdeen Christmas lights as the old vehicle was passing. I could feel the Christmas atmosphere and everyone around me was looking with widely open eyes. Colourful dancers, Portlenthen Pipe Band, the Mall Monster, Army soldiers were part of the amazing carnival parade. The comedy duo Alan McHugh and Jordan Young were performing in Peter Pan. Aberdeen events made all children believe in Christmas and the wonders that come true. It was like a fairytale.
