We are sitting at the top point in a Ferris Wheel, again. Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark.
We are wrapped in warm blankets having some mulled wine.
"Do you think, Santa Claus is the spirit of Christmas?" the llama asks.
"No", I say. "Santa Claus is the advertising figure of a soft drink company."
"So, what is the spirit of Christmas, Bromford?" the llama asks.
"Ask me that again later, animal", I say clinking my mulled wine mug against the llama's.
"Merry Christmas to you, Bromford!"
"Merry Christmas to you, Kusskuss!"

BING!
A door opens in front of us, but we keep sitting in the Ferris Wheel cabin only watching at the world on the other side.

"Bromford Lights"
We walk along the river
Under the Bromford Eye
It's seen a million lovers
It's watching us tonight
Angels in their realm of glory
Never saw a night like this
They'll pay witness to our story
On Albert Bridge for our first kiss
Up to Trafalgar Square
Bright lights upon the tree
Shining on the smiling faces
Shine down on you and me
Whispered on the wind, we hear
The choir of St. Martin sing
It came upon a midnight clear
Songs of old, they'll draw us in
I don't need star-studded skies
I don't need those glitzy nights
When I see the Bromford lights
Yeah, when I see the Bromford lights, oh-oh-oh
Reflected in your eyes
For all the violence we see
For all the mindless suffering
Here we stand with this town
There's still love to be found
So I don't need star-studded skies
I don't need those glitzy nights
This old town is all I need
A busy street's for you and me
Oh, when I see the Bromford lights
Yeah, when I see the Bromford lights, oh-oh-oh
Reflected in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
We walk along the river
Under the Bromford Eye
It's seen a million lovers
It's watching us tonight
Angels in their realm of glory
Never saw a night like this
They'll pay witness to our story
On Albert Bridge for our first kiss
Up to Trafalgar Square
Bright lights upon the tree
Shining on the smiling faces
Shine down on you and me
Whispered on the wind, we hear

In your eyes
