I went ice skating in George Square last year and i loved it. When i arrived at George Square on christams eve i couldnt wait to get onto the ice as it looked really good. While i was waiting to get my ice-skaiting boots i got more & more excited.Eventually it was me & my friends turn to go onto the ice,it was a wonderful feeling to skate under all the twinkiling lights and listen to all the christams songs.I felt as if i was playing a part in a christmas film as it felt so magical. By the end of our session on the ice i was ready to go home and look foward to christams the next day. This year i hope to do the same & spend christmas eve at the ice rink.
