<p>We also walked around Belfast&#8217;s new outdoor mall and saw Santa waving to all the kiddies below.  The streets were packed with shoppers (in Dublin too) and everything seemed ready for Christmas.  The only difference was that I usually see these scenes near big-box stores in suburbia, yet all this was taking place in a European city centre amongst all the lights.</p>
