Christmas time is the right time by lizzie1715
If I had the choice of being in Florence in summer or winter, the end of November, December would win hands down. It might be a little chilly (sometimes very chilly) in the morning and evenings, but Florence in all it's Christmas glory is enough to warm you up and refresh your view of beauty. There is a buzz in the air and a sense of anticipation each dusk and evening as people, mostly locals, rush around the centre with their hands full of shopping bags. They start to put out the Christmas lights at the end of November and the city centre becomes even more special.
